Mounting Fuse File Systems with HAL
-----------------------------------
$FreeBSD$
Hal supports mounting Fuse device-backed file systems (e.g. NTFS). To enable
this feature, copy the included %%LOCALBASE%%/share/hal/mount-fuse script
to /sbin. Make sure this script is executable. Edit the script, and change
the FUSE_HELPER environment variable to the name of the executable which
will actually mount the Fuse volume (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs-3g'').
Finally, the script must be renamed to ``mount_FSNAME''. FSNAME is the name
of the file system type (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs''). If there is
already an executable in /sbin or /usr/sbin with this name, the
existing executable must be renamed or deleted.
As is stated in the examples above, overriding FreeBSD's existing NTFS
support with Fuse's ntfs-3g is the most common use case for this. The
ntfs-3g Fuse driver uses different mount options than FreeBSD's included
mount_ntfs. GNOME transparently supports switching between ntfs and
ntfs-3g. Simply edit the following GConf key in the GNOME
Configuration Editor (i.e. gconf-editor):
/system/storage/default_options/ntfs/fstype_override
Set the value to ``ntfs-3g'', then add your desired ntfs-3g options to the
following GConf key:
/system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options
Other desktop systems may have similar options.
