Hello there,
I've been here for quite long, but I've never really managed to get automounting on my NTFS external drive. The problem is that now I have two NTFS disks and the workarounds I used have become too tedious. So I have two options: I can format my disks as FAT32 (I need them windoze compatible) or fix the automounting problem. I don't have many files over 4 GB, but I'd rather stay with NTFS due to FAT32's fragmentation.
So I've been through several wiki pages trying to find a fix, but haven't found one yet. I have added the policykit config suggested in the HAL wiki page [1] and found some tricks that no longer work in the Udev wiki page [2], with no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
FTR, the error I get when I try to mount an external NTFS hard drive with pcmanfm is org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure. Nautilus doesn't even show it in 'Computer', although it shows a pendrive. I haven't found any relevant errors in /var/log/{daemon,errors,user}.log
Thanks in advance

I've solved it just commenting its line in fstab... I knew it was something dumb
