[Bug 242902] Plasma device notifier does not recognize exFAT USB drives

--- Comment #36 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb at freebsd.org> ---
I just finished a fresh 12.1-RELEASE + KDE install on an old desktop machine
using sysutils/desktop-installer.

Using HAL, FAT32 devices are recognized, but I get a "Malformed URL" pop-up
when selecting "Open with File Manager" on an unmounted device.  The mount
succeeds, though, and selecting "Open with File Manager" a second time, I can
see the contents.

exFAT devices are still not recognized.  Opening Device Notifier manually, I
see "No devices available".

After reinstalling kf5-solid with bsddisks support, installing exfat-utils and
fusefs-exfat, and enabling "All devices" in notifier, both FAT32 and exFAT
drives are detected and mount cleanly.

It seems hald must remain running for other plasma components, or very weird
things will happen when starting plasma.

So it seems we'll be in good shape once the "All devices" issue is resolved and
kf5-solid defaults to bsdisks.
