I might be able to help with GNOME's mounting removable devices.
I assume you have dbus installed and that GNOME is compiled to use it.
Install gnome-mount and gnome-eject. These work with
gnome-volume-manager.
Create a group for users allowed to mount removable devices. Arch calls
the group "storage", but Ubuntu uses "plugdev". I used storage. I
don't see either one listed in either the LFS or BLFS books.
Add yourself to the group.
Edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf. You want a policy group called
storage that contains two or three allow lines. If I remember corectly,
this was either missing or owned by root. Mine looks like this.
<policy group="storage">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
</policy>
Create a directory called /media. Gnome-mount will mount removable
devices here if they are not listed in /etc/fstab. When it mounts a
device, it creates a mountpoint in /media to mount the device on. When
you unmount the device, it removes the mountpoint. If the mountpoint
already exists when you insert a device, the device will not be mounted.
(Maybe everything in /media should be deleted at boot?)
If you want to mount memory sticks, you might need to compile kernel
modules. Lsmod shows that ide_core and usb_storage are in use, as well
as fat and vfat for the filesystem.
If your memory stick has a light, it does not go out when you unmount
the stick.
I hope this helps.
