Comment 6 for bug 35354

The output of grep hda1 /proc/mounts is:
/dev/hda1 /media/Aalto fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0

It shows as 'fuse', which is some kind of abstraction layer to the real filesystem used on the disk (ntfs). I'm using the 'ntfsprogs' package to support write access to the disk with 'fuse'. The commandline tool for mounting is 'ntfsmount'.

Info on fuse: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/

I think hal should recognize fuse filesystems, since the fuse package is already part of the main linux kernel since 2.6.14.
