I second this problem. I have an USB drive with an NTFS partition that I have been unable to mount in Feisty. The attached patch against hal-0.5.8.1 works for me.
Caveat: Only tested by patching /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi live, but the attached patch against the source package should be equivalent. ** Attachment added: "Patch to make mounting of NTFS partitions on removable devices work again" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5653248/hal.patch -- hal need to allowed utf8 option for ntfs fs https://launchpad.net/bugs/78142 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
