@01micko and lapis:

Woooo.. Someone answered, I was hoping so! Thanks for the info, I'm gonna try and play with it, but am sure I know way too little to fix it, but would love auto mount all to be fixed in muppyquickmount!!

I've given startmount a few tests, it wasn't that reliable for me, but i'm gonna try the latest version today..

Hi sc0ttman, I've played a bit with mounting ntfs partitions and the problem is definitely related to using the mount command without specifying a file type.

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
uses a different driver to
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

When "-t ntfs" is specified ntfs-3g is used to mount the partition and write access is okay.

Does anyone know why ntfs-3g is not used if "-t ntfs" is not specified? From my reading of the mount manual it looks like it should be the same for both.

If you look at /usr/local/MuppyQuickmount/resource/muppyquickmount
on line 231 you will see:
mount (drive)

I wonder if it would work if you change it to:
mount -t filesystemtype (drive)

where "filesystemtype" is "ntfs" where appropriate.

Would be great to have an updated MuppyQuickmount.
I use it over pmount.
It an great app. to have

I updated MuppyQuickmount.pet and also the "all in one" Muppyfiler-gtkbasic.pet.

Now also NTFS-drives should be mounted read-write, when the drives are mounted at startup automatically.

And vfat drives are mounted using the " -t vfat" option.
On fluppy, this was not needed though, as long filenames are displayed also without this option. So let me know please, if it fixes issue with long filenames on system, where the old version did not work.

By default, now all drives are mounted at startup.

If you don't want this, simply remove the file /root/Startup/muppyquickmount-all

When your Puppy is shutting down, everything is unmounted, if you don't want that too, then delete /etc/init.d/muppyquickmountmountall.

Thanks for your last messages and sorry for the late update, my job kept me busy...

great, THANKS for the update!

I have added this to Akita, as I left in GTK-Basic from way back when it was Puppy Arcade... (PA7 or PA6 used muppyquickmount)...

[MU]

I'm sorry, ntfs/vfat still was not fixed, my bugfix was not sufficient.

I now updated both pets again, and tested it more carefully. Now it works.

Hey MU; Good to see you`re still putting out code...

A great app., much like my DriveMan I became disgusted with awhile back.
A solid app., and using buttons instead of a right-click menu keeps it simple.

Quickmount shows info., nice! Saves the need for another separate app.
