            Bug ID: 204464
           Summary: sysutils/fusefs-ntfs: No automount with HAL of
                    ntfs-volumes since FreeBSD 10.x
                    (org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure:
                    mount: illegal option -- u usage: mount [-t fstype...)
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org

The problem did not exist with FreeBSD 9.x.
When HAL was properly configured, sysutils/fusefs-ntfs installed and the
instructions in /usr/local/share/doc/hal-0.5.11/README.fuse were followed, a
ntfs-volume was automatically mounted just like any other volume (e.g. FAT).
But since I upgraded my system to FreeBSD amd64 10.2 from 9.3, this is not the
case anymore. Instead Dolphin now reports:

"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: mount: illegal option -- u
usage: mount [-t fstype..."

As I understand, in 10.x fuse is part of the base system now? Well, the
automounting of ntfs-volumes just doesn't work anymore.

At this point I would also like to ask if it is not about time to dump HAL,
which is known not to work properly under FreeBSD anyway, in favour of a better
automount mechanism, preferably based on devd(8). There is the port
sysutils/automount which seems to work, but unfortunately only for USB-Sticks
and harddrives, and not for CD-Roms or DVD's. The maintainer claims this is
because devd does not produce events for CD's or DVD's and that this would be
up to the FreeBSD developers.

On the other hand, pcbsd has developed some other devd-based automount
mechanism, "pc-mounttray", which is part of the pcbsd-utils-qt5 and does also
mount CD's and DVD's, but does not work together with the native automounting
functions of KDE, MATE, etc and is only available for 64-bit systems.

Kind Regards,

Werner Lehmann
