hal and multiple NTFS partitions?

[Andreas Wetzel]

Hi

my system runs FreeBSD 6.3 with Gnome 2.22 and hal-0.5.11.r2_4 installed.
The harddisk is partitioned as follows:


The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
     start 63, size 67103442 (32765 Meg), flag 80 (active)
         beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
         end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
     start 67103505, size 209728575 (102406 Meg), flag 0
         beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
         end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
     start 276832080, size 294873075 (143980 Meg), flag 0
         beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
         end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
     start 571705155, size 209712510 (102398 Meg), flag 0
         beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
         end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63


When i log on to gnome using gdm, i get an icon on the desktop for my Windows
C: partition (partition 1), but not for the D: and E: drives (partitions 3+4).
All windows partitions are using NTFS. When i use lshal to see what devices
hal has recognized, i can see that hal does not report a filesystem type for
partitions 3+4:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_80508DEE508DEB6C'
   block.device = '/dev/ad0s1'  (string)
   [...]
   volume.fstype = 'ntfs'  (string)
   volume.fsusage = 'filesystem'  (string)
   volume.fsversion = '3.0'  (string)
   volume.ignore = false  (bool)

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part3_size_150975014400'
   block.device = '/dev/ad0s3'  (string)
   [...]
   volume.fstype = ''  (string)
   volume.fsusage = 'partitiontable'  (string)
   volume.ignore = true  (bool)

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part4_size_107372805120'
   block.device = '/dev/ad0s4'  (string)
   [...]
   volume.fstype = ''  (string)
   volume.fsusage = 'partitiontable'  (string)
   volume.ignore = true  (bool)


Another system using a similar partitioning scheme, running FreeBSD 7.0 with
Gnome 2.22 and same hal version exposes the exact same behaviour.

Is there anything i need to configure, or is this not supposed to be like
that?
