Thunar doesn't show internal hard drive partitions...

Hi!

Today I installed XFCE4 on my ArchLinux install, but it seems I can't mount internal hard drives thru Thunar.

I have 5 partitions on my computer, Vista's, Vista's recovery, Ubuntu, Data partition (xfs) and Arch Linux's partition. Arch Linux's partition is mounted on / (duh) but none of the other 4 appear on Thunar! This is driving me insane! I know that pcmanfm does the job but I prefer to stick with the default file manager.

Can anyone help me???

PS: I have thunar-volman installed.

Thunar does not work this way ATTOW. Mount your volumes statically via /etc/fstab and add shortcuts to side panel by DND.

Thanks. Seems like it's the only option. Oh well... The rest of XFCE makes it up

Solved (kind of...)!

Re: Thunar doesn't show internal hard drive partitions...

Here is a patch to treate locale partition as moveable devices. So the partition will show in left panel.

but can't mount or unmount

So it's kinda useless? right I mean I have the icon but I can't mount it by simply clicking it...
