KDE 4.4 automount - does it honor HAL rules?

Can anyone point me to an article that explains how KDE4 handles automounting?  It's mounting my Windows NTFS partition rw automatically regardless of what I put in my HAL rules.

I know I can just put the partition in /etc/fstab as a workaround, but I want to understand how KDE auomounting works.

(BTW, I don't want NTFS rw b/c 99% of the time I have Windows hibernated to disk - writing to that partition could cause issues.)

Hi,
you can configure automounting in KDE4.4 by

SystemSettings --> Advanced Tab --> Removable Devices

Re: KDE 4.4 automount - does it honor HAL rules?

Thanks.  That config util doesn't allow one to specify mount options, though.  I just added an entry to /etc/fstab as a work-around:

/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs ro,user,noauto,utf8,uid=506458,gid=42424 0 0
