 It should be noted that this is only necessary if you use fstab-sync,
 which is deprecated in Debian. Debian's hal now uses pmount, whose
 most recent version (0.6-1) now uses the 'quiet' option for mounting.

Yep, we already talked about that with Sjoerd. But it's just a sane
default and can be used by other programs than fstab-sync in future. As
for me, I use both pmount (for removable devices) and fstab-sync (for
detecting non-removable devices on boot).

Bug#292661: Add quiet option to default storage policy for VFAT filesystems

[Dan Korostelev]

Package: hal
Version: 0.4.7-1
Severity: minor

I think, HAL's default storage policy should add quiet mount option to
vfat volumes. Because w/o that option, some filemanagers (mc, nautilus
AFAIK, and others) will fail trying to chown or chmod files when
copying. Because errors will be returned by the kernel, 'cause VFAT
doesn't support users and rights. With quiet option, kernel won't
return errors on those operations.
