The harddisk is partitioned as follows: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX) start 63, size 67103442 (32765 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 67103505, size 209728575 (102406 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX) start 276832080, size 294873075 (143980 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 4 is: sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX) start 571705155, size 209712510 (102398 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 When i log on to gnome using gdm, i get an icon on the desktop for my Windows C: partition (partition 1), but not for the D: and E: drives (partitions 3+4). All windows partitions are using NTFS. When i use lshal to see what devices hal has recognized, i can see that hal does not report a filesystem type for partitions 3+4: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_80508DEE508DEB6C' block.device = '/dev/ad0s1' (string) [...] volume.fstype = 'ntfs' (string) volume.fsusage = 'filesystem' (string) volume.fsversion = '3.0' (string) volume.ignore = false (bool) udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part3_size_150975014400' block.device = '/dev/ad0s3' (string) [...] volume.fstype = '' (string) volume.fsusage = 'partitiontable' (string) volume.ignore = true (bool) udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part4_size_107372805120' block.device = '/dev/ad0s4' (string) [...] volume.fstype = '' (string) volume.fsusage = 'partitiontable' (string) volume.ignore = true (bool) Another system using a similar partitioning scheme, running FreeBSD 7.0 with Gnome 2.22 and same hal version exposes the exact same behaviour. Is there anything i need to configure, or is this not supposed to be like that? Andreas -- Keep it icy man. I don't want to end up a corpse before my time because you were daydreaming.
