Hello All,
OS: Arch Linux (installed from latest core image) with Xfce4.6, LXDE, FluxBox installed.
Primary WM/DE: Xfce4.6
Installed Daemons: HAL & DBUS (Gamin is also installed)
Issue: Unable to view internal paritions (/dev/sda2 (WINDOWS) and /dev/sda5 (UBUNTU)) from Thunar.
I don't want to add manual entries in /etc/fstab. I want my file manager to just mount the partitions on request by left clicking on the side pane. Thunar (and thunar-volman) does not even show the volumes on the left.
However I've got this working with PCManFM (after lotsa googling) by installing gvfs and changing the /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy file as follows:
<action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount">
<description>Mount a device</description>
<description xml:lang="da">Montér en enhed</description>
<message>Authentication is required to mount the device</message>
<message xml:lang="da">Autorisering er påkrævet for at montere et fil system</message>
<defaults>
<allow_any>yes</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>
<action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal">
<description>Mount a system-internal device</description>
<description xml:lang="da">Montér en intern enhed</description>
<message>Authentication is required to mount the device</message>
<message xml:lang="da">Autorisering er påkrævet for at montere et fil system</message>
<defaults>
<allow_any>yes</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>
I have also installed gigolo and can use it to mount my internal partitions and then launch thunar, navigate to the mount point.
However I'd like to use Thunar natively for mounting my internal partitions dynamically (i.e no fstab entries), but AFAIK there is no native support for doing this in Thunar.
Any help would be appreciated..Thanks.

Thunar does not show internal partitions like it does with external ones. If you want that feature though, you have to report it upstream.

Thanks Anonymous_User, I figured as much. Will make do with PCManFM for working with internal partitions.

Hi,
my Thunar version (1.0.2) shows and mounts internal partitions using this patch:

There is an issue:
Thunar doesnt Umount.
If I do it from shell, the partition disappers on left pane for a while
