HAL is not passing this option down. KDE is. That HAL file is merely stating that this option is allowed for this filesystem type. Additionally, this is the recommended way to mount USB drives so that the data is immediately flushed out to the device rather then the queue the changes and result in corrupting the filesystem or potentially letting a user pull out the drive thinking the data is on there and the data hasn't been written out yet. This option has been added to the Linux kernel as of 2.6.19 and we do only mandate 2.6.17 or higher to compile HAL but we do recommend at least 2.6.19 to run. Unfortunately, you didn't include emerge --info, as required by all Bugzilla tickets so it's impossible to see your configuration info or kernel version. For reference, here's the change in the Linux kernel, http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ae78bf9c4f5fde3c67e2829505f195d7347ce3e4 |
