Bug#395169: Overriding debian-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi solves this problem
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=boolfalse/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).

If we don't set volume.ignore=true for local devices, each partition will be mountable by everyone who gets access to HAL (everyone in group plugdev). But I already wrote that in an earlier email. Perhaps it would good to improve coordination between gnome-volume-manager and hal packages (just to make sure maintainers for It's not an g-v-m issue, as I already wrote earlier. It's a gnome-vfs issue. Did you notice that the g-v-m and hal maintainer is the same person? 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). You are kidding me. Nobody reads README.Debian nowadays anymore. If something is not working people complain instantly.
