As per my original post in the second paragraph above, that is the message I get. However, nothing in my fstab is /dev/hd? They are all mounted by Label as per below except for two fat partitions and swap which are designated as /dev/sd??.
swap and fat can also be mounted by label, if you want.
/dev/sdc7 /fat vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0
/dev/sda1 /windows fat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0
A little more investigation shows I can open the two fat partitions (/dev/sda1 & /dev/sdc7) but have to give the root password to Dolphin.
That's because you have "users" in the fstab entry. It should be "user", no final "s". The meaning is quite different.
OK Carlos. your input is accepted and noted as an expert in this realm. I question however that these two partitions are mounted and accessible in 10.2 and 11.0 with exactly the same parameters in fstab of those OS's and in 11.2 they are not. But, willing to try, I changed "users" to "user" and got exactly the same result. Could not mount without the root password. Sooooo....It seems it boiled down to the same result. Works in 10.2 and 11.0 but not in 11.2. the difference being the "Hal Policykit" stuff.
And the entry for sda1 should be "vfat", not "fat".
