Thunar can't automount fixed disks?

Made the switch from Gnome/Compiz to Xfce4/xfwm4, very happy with the speed difference!     Maybe one day I'll give openbox a go, anyways

This computer boots 3 OS's, Windows 7 (same disk) and OSx86 (seperate disk).    Gnome-volume-manager mounted the hfs+ disk and the ntfs partition automatically on boot.     Thunar-volman doesn't seem to.    It does mount my usb keys perfectly.    I googled quite a bit but can't find a clear answer as to whether thunar-volman can mount fixed disks, or seperate partitions automatically.

Yes, I know I can add them to /etc/fstab.     I was just wondering if this is normal behaviour or if something is broken.

Happy Arch user....

Err, go in /media and add a custom shortcut to Thunar?

Thunar volman is for removable media only according to the documentation.

That one's also for removeable media only.

Re: Thunar can't automount fixed disks?

why you just won't add those discs in /etc/fstab, so they would be mounted on system boot?

Re: Thunar can't automount fixed disks?

i assumed hal would just automount it. although with pcmanfm i had better luck since it shows up the drive and i have to click so it can be mount.

Hal does not automount drives. See how udev/hal/mounting etc. works here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL

Re: Thunar can't automount fixed disks?

Hi,

i hope this thread isn't too dead yet.

If thunar-volman is for removeable media only.. is there anything to handle fixed drives in thunar?
I can't add a shortcut/fstab entry because the drive is luks-encrypted. I'd like to get prompted to
enter my password by klicking the drive (it's working with external drives).

Thanks
VR
