I'd like to change the default mount options for my NTFS-USB-harddisk in KDE4. However, I couldn't find a way to change them in the GUI and I didn't manage to correctly set an "option=value" style mount option in .kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc. The problem is: ntfs-3g uses the system-locale (the LANG environment variable) or the mount-option locale=XXX to determine the encoding of filenames. Unfortunately, the mount-command doesn't get executed in the user-environment, it is called by hald via hal-storage-mount, where the LANG environment variable isn't set. So one has to explicitly use the locale=en_US mount option to switch to latin1 encoding. HAL doesn't allow to configure mount options via HAL policies anymore, since HAL developers think that they should be provided by the desktop session: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2007-January/007128.html So I think there must be a way to configure per-volume mount options in KDE. Does anyone know if this is currently implemented?
