So, my problem is, that when I start my system, I can see my 3 NTFS parititons in Dolphin, but I can't access them in any program before they are clicked on in the "Places" bar in Dolphin. I then hear my HDD spinning and a NTFS partition I chose to open in Dolphin becomes available as a folder in /media/partitionname. I would prefer to have them auto-mounted when my system starts and immediately available in /media. The same goes to DVDs and my pendrive. They need to be clicked on on the "New devices" plasmoid or inside Dolphin in order to access them from /media. Can I workaround this somehow?

Put them in your /etc/fstab (have a look at the wiki of your distribution), they will be automounted on startup then.

It could look like this: (Debian/Sid here)

Code: Select all

/dev/disk/by-uuid/A2209EFC209ED71F            /media/disk1part1              ntfs-3g            auto,users,rw,dmask=0022,fmask=0133,nls=utf8   0      0

(using ntfs-3g to mount it writable, if you don't want to write on it, use ntfs only)

And btw... hello Forum!

You may wish to try the Automounting Device Notifier plasmoid, which may support internal device partitions. There is a component currently in KDEReview which covers this I believe
