Hi!

I've bought an external disk. I can mount it by hand, with

mount -t msdosfs -o large /dev/xxx /mnt

command. (I have to use the "-o large" option.)

I use XFCE4, with Thunar-volman-plugin. When I plug my new disk in, I
got a message box: Cannot mount, try with "-o large" option. So I'd
like to say to the "automounter" of Thunar, to use the mount_msdosfs
command with that "-o large" option. After some googling, I found HAL
specification on

http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/hal/hal/doc/spec/hal-spec.html?view=3Dco&path=
rev=3DHEAD

and wrote that .fdi file:

=3D=3D /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/policy/30user/10-add-mount-option-for-Verba=
tim.fdi =3D=3D
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version=3D"0.2">
  <device>
    <match key=3D"block.device" string=3D"/dev/msdosfs/VERBATIM">
      <match key=3D"info.category" string=3D"volume">
         <merge key=3D"volume.policy.mount_option.large" type=3D"bool">true=
</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>
=3D=3D=3D=3D

My problem is: after plugging my disk in, in lshal output, I can see the ne=
w key:
volume.policy.mount_option.large ( =3D true) , but got the same error messa=
ge about
the mounting problem.

I tried it with Linux (+GNOME). Linux can mount my disk, so I tried to
mount with read-only flag. The same problem: I can see my new key, but
it hasn't got any effect (well, it has. without my .fdi file, it can mount =
with rw,
but with my .fdi file, it cannot mount. Neither rw, nor ro.)

So my question: how can I make an .fdi file, which tells to these "automoun=
ters":

if this is device X from vendor Y, mount it with mount option XY!

Thanks, G=E1bor
