Hello,

I have also experienced the same problem with new HAL version.

The modification above does not solve the issue. On the other hand, I
have modified the file: 

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi

To override the policy contained in:

/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/debian-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi


Therefore, i have added these lines
to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi:

<device>
  <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false">
    <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false">
      <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
    </match>
  </match>
</device>

And (after restarting dbus) it solves the problem for me.


Just a question for package maintainers: 

what's the rationale for setting "the property volume.ignore=true for
local devices as a security measure" ?


Perhaps it would good to improve coordination between
gnome-volume-manager and hal packages (just to make sure maintainers for
either package are aware of new modifications, or to agree on a global
policy for managing / showing / hiding volumes / devices...)

You may also add a README explaining this kind of modifications (which
may "conflict" with other packages and current desktop behaviour) and
how to override or solve them (if possible).


Thank you,


Daniel R.
