mnttool
« on: February 09, 2011, 09:34:40 PM »
like the way mnttool is looking. 1 problem though. I have ntfs-3g module loaded on boot. I can't seem to use mnttool to mount the partition though probably because I'm trying to mount as user and not root. I can sudo and mount no problem.

also, mnttool seems a bit slow opening. probably because it has to query the info about the devices. Wonder if that can be asynchronous where the tool opens up first, have some indicator that it is still loading device info, and populate the info one by one. That way, I don't click on mnttool 4 times(I really did because it didn't open).

Hi tweetyhack
Open a terminal and type "sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /usr/local/sbin/mount.ntfs".
See if the mount tool works now, if it does then add that line to /opt/bootlocal.sh.
If it's checking for a CD and/or floppy drive that will slow it down, I believe I read in another
post that the floppy check was removed in a newer version of the tool.
