[Fedora] Re: How to show mounted partitions in the "Computer" window?

[Mark]

JUST FOUND THE CORRECT WAY!!!
i think (don`t have proof) that the default hal policy`s for
volume.ignorewhere probable set to false by default on Fedora core 5
and 6. and changed
to TRUE for fedora core 7. thus making it useless to remove this policy:
99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi because that also contains the
TRUE value in it. a better way to bypass this annoying issue is again to
open up that file and edit it.

the exact steps i did:
nano /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-
redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi

than find:
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>

change it to:
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>

be aware that those policy`s are probably overwritten again once there is a
package update containing those policy`s (hal package i think)

so i have all my partitions now :D
thanx alot for the help and i sure hope that this post will help alot of
other peoples aswell. i will also post this on the fedoraforum.
