Thanks for replying, Ian.<br><br>I have a USB thumb drive that is formatted in FAT32, and that worked without any problems in Dolphin.

Konqueror also shows the directories as empty.<br>
<br>My internal SATA NTFS drive shows the same behavior as the USB NTFS drive.<br><br>So this looks like Dolphin is having problems mounting the NTFS drive in the first place. Manually mounting the NTFS drives using ntfs-3g from the terminal works, and the drives become accessible from Dolphin.<br>
<br>Does anyone know where to configure Dolphin's mounting options?<br><br>-Bill<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 10:44 AM, Ian Robinson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fitchkendall@gmail.com">fitchkendall@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm still not able to mount ntfs drives in dolphin in 8.1 Release. I
didn't<br>
get any error messages as well.<br>
<br>
The only other thing that I noticed is that it will create directories
in<br>
/media, one for each mount attempt. So, for example, I'm trying to
mount my<br>
FreeAgent drive, I'll get "FreeAgent Drive", "FreeAgent Drive-1",
"FreeAgent<br>
Drive-2", and so on.<br>
<br>
Is there anyone else trying to mount ntfs drives in dolphin? Are you<br>
successful? If so, did you have to do some special configuration?<br>
<br>========================================================<br><br>Bill --<br><br>I'm running PCBSD 8.1-RELEASE.<br><br>I plugged in my FreeAgent 500 USB drive (which I had previously converted to FAT32 & named the volume as "AGENT500")<br>
<br>Here is what I find:<br><br>1. Dolphin recognized the drive and mounted it at /media/AGENT500<br><br>2. Dolphin did NOT show the contents.<br><br>3. KDiskFree (Start > Applications > System > View Disk Usage) correctly shows the mountpoint and drive statistics<br>
<br>4. Although Dolphin won't show any files, Terminal lets you cd over to the mount point and list the files.<br><br>5. Dolphin lets me un-mount the disk via a right-click on the name of the USB drive in "Places" <br>
<br>6. If I create a mount point (/mnt/whatever), then I can successfully mount the drive in terminal with <br><br># mount -t msdosfs -o large /dev/da2s1 /mnt/whatever<br>or with<br># mount_msdosfs -o large /dev/da2s1 /mnt/whatever<br>
<br>7. Dolphin will show the mountpoint but will not see or list the files<br><br>8. Terminal lets you cd over to the mountpoint and list the files.<br><br>Two more very important points:<br><br>9. Konqueror lets you see all the files.<br>
<br>10. Dolphin Admin (sudolphin) lets you see all the files.<br><br>Try Konqueror and Dolphin Admin to see if you get the same behavior and reach the conclusion like I do that "regular" Dolphin has a bug.<br><font color="#888888"><br>
