--- Begin Message ---Package: hal Version: 0.5.11-8 Severity: normal I tried to mount a usb flash drive with group plugdev instead of root, by adding gid=plugdev to the system storage vfat mount options. It didn't work out. I changed the file: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi by adding the last gid= line here: <!-- allow these mount options for vfat --> <match key="volume.fstype" string="vfat"> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">gid=</append> And then restarted hal, and the mount was successful with the plugdev as the group. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.1-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20080508+git20080601-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1+lenny1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libsmbios2 2.0.3.dfsg-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id0 0.125-7 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.13.1.1-1 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:3.0.0-6 Linux PCI Utilities ii pm-utils 1.1.2.4-1 utilities and scripts for power ma ii udev 0.125-7 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.73-10 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii eject 2.1.5+deb1-4 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer ii libsmbios-bin 2.0.3.dfsg-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa Versions of packages hal suggests: pn gnome-device-manager <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
