Hello,

in the context of my HDD mounting issue (https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=224&t=151674), which has been solved so far (but the solution will maybe not update-proof), I wonder why the - otherwise very detailed - KDE system setting interface does not have a submenu entry under "Hardware", where the mounting / unmounting rights for a given partition can be granted to users / groups?

This would be a logical extension of the already existing disk-manager, where the mountpoint and fstab parameters can be set conveniently. Yet, the existence of the disk-manager is less prominent, because this application is only accessible from terminal, but not via the KDE settings, where one would look for it.

Best regards,

Oli

well yeah, use mount options uid and gid for user and group rights.

(doesn't work for all filesystems)

Hello TKL-Ansi,

as you already stated in the other thread: Filesystem ext4 does not allow uid and gid as a mount option.

That's why I made the proposal to integrate somehow the good old disk-manager in the KDE settings and implement the newer development of that polkit stuff right there and in an user-friendly way.

Kind regards,

Oli
