Description:
In HAL 0.5.11-7, there is a patch "ntfs-mount-fix.patch" which make hal test for action "hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options", but there is no such action defined in PolicyKit files.

As result of that, HAL fails when it mounts ntfs partitions.

Instead of this patch, you can use this commit from hal git:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal/commit/?id=25f9536d8cd4ff534eb73dc603a38b7d64ebf81e

The bug concerning ntfs was fixed before the commit in version 0.5.11:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=427109

Steps to reproduce:
just try to mount a ntfs partition with hal or an application like nautilus, pcmanfm ...
This task depends upon

with "same thing" i wanted to say that nautilus ask for password and the partition doesn't been mounted.

With hal 0.5.11-7 I got the authentication dialog (in nautilus at least) but the NTFS volume was not mounted at all; I used 'sudo gnome-mount ...' to mount the partition.

Now, with hal 0.5.12git20090406.46dc48-1 I get:
Nautilus: "Cannot mount volume" dialog; "Cannot get volume.fstype.alternative".
sudo gnome-mount -p volumelabel: same error as above.
Pcmanfm: "Unable to mount device"; Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure.

Now I can mount a NTFS volume by "sudo gnome-mount -p volumelabel" again (because of the ntfs-3g update to 2009.4.4-1?).

The problems still persist in nautilus o pcmanfm, but isn't this task a duplicate of  FS#12397 ?

didn't see #12397 before. (bad search words maybe)
