This does not happen only with external but also internal ntfs partition. Adding such a line to fstab /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g users,noauto 0 0 and trying as a user gnome-mount -d /dev/sdb1 prints out dialog "Unable to mount the volume", but opening "Details" gives no info - it is empty. Using mount /mnt/ntfs does nothing - it does not print any error message, just silently ends with no action to happen. root can mount those devices OK, therefore I think, there is something going on with hal and policykit that are preventing to grant permission. This applies only to ntfs file system types. With vfat everything works. Is FUSE somehow involved? Fist thing I found is there are permissions -rwxr-xr-- on /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g This is causing (gnome-)mount to quit silently. When changed to 0755 then mount finaly gives some output at least. This points out to ntfs-3g Q&A with "explanation" http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#useroption2 which is not very helpfull. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
