I tried

mkdir /mnt/sda2 && echo "/dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 ntfs-3g locale=pl_PL.UTF-8 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

that didn't work so i tried

mkdir /mnt/sda2 && ntfs-3g /dev/sdc5 /mnt/sdc5 && echo "/dev/sdc5 /mnt/sdc5 ntfs-3g locale=pl_PL.UTF-8 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
hehe , it is for localization :)

locale=en_US

OK

A little progress. :) ,I'm now able to get the partition to automount. But it STILL doesn't show up in media places. :evil:

I think the partition needs to be mounted *before* HAL starts, i might be wrong.

@XAVIER
if 'blkid' doesn't show the partition then there must be something wrong with partition table. i would do a backup and then follow these advices to create new UUID for sda5:

maybe it will solve the HAL issue?

what did you do exactly?

Not sure exactly , still trying to figure it out.

I tried adding a UUID with the following command but it didn't work.

dd if=/dev/urandom bs=80 count=1 |xxd -l 80 -c 8 | tail -1 | xxd -r - /dev/sdd5


Note: xxd isn't available in porteus so i had to package and install it manually.
Neither is urandom , but the command seemed to work.


I'm really up against the wall on this one. :sorry:

I think if i can change or add a new UUID to the filesystem(partition) i should be able to get HAL and KIOmm to pick it up.

Its a ntfs windows partition however. & i would need to make certain it wouldn't corrupt the logical partition.

All in all its a dangerous move and im not willing to risk the data right now. I wish NTFS played nice with linux. grrr microsloth

that's why i said that backup is required :)
up to you if you want to try this solution or just live with this "bug" (if it's your partition table fault then it's not a real porteus bug).

Cheers
