[SOLVED] NTFS partitions not showing on system:/media

eldarion · 2008-10-09 15:48:22

Hi, Arch community!

I am having issues with my NTFS partitions not showing on system:/media (KDE3) since the last update. I have updated the packages:

- cracklib, pm-utils, udev, hal, initscripts, klibc, klibc-extras, klibc-kbd, klibc-module-init-tools, klibc-udev, libldap, nvidia-utils, nvidia

here is the pacman.log for that update:

(i have done the "rm -R /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm" thing before the update).

I have one HDD with 4 partitions as follows:

# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10011 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xfe84fe84

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2748 22073278+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 2749 9119 51175057+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 9120 9884 6144862+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 9885 10011 1020127+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

and have my HDD partitions mounted on boot:

# cat /etc/fstab

/dev/sda4 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/ntfs1 ntfs-3g users,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,silent,locale=pt_PT.UTF-8,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sda2 /media/ntfs2 ntfs-3g users,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,silent,locale=pt_PT.UTF-8,umask=0 0 0

I have no problems accessing the ntfs partitions from /media/ntfs1 or /media/ntfs2, but they don't show in system:/media. Only my linux partition (sda3) shows there.

Since KDE uses HAL for managing partitons, i have done:

# ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/

2e47206c-1c8d-45be-b58d-bca92c6f5e34

Is this normal, only showing one UUID? Or "by-uuid" only shows the HDD's, not partitions?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying, wonder.

It may be related to that bug. I have installed Gnome and it works great there. For KDE3 i can't say the same thing.

Thanks for the tip.
