Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: devicekit-disks
When I plug in an eSATA external hard drive, it would appear in the
Places menu but not automount (which is also a bit of a problem, but see
bug #452256). When I clicked on it in the Places menu, it would then
mount and I could access my files. Since upgrading to Karmic, it asks
me for a password before mounting. This is a bit of an annoyance.
Presumably, non-administrator users (at least, those with the "Access
external storage devices automatically" permission) should be able to
mount external hard drives without an administrator password. At the
very least, I don't see why the security policy for USB hard drives and
eSATA hard drives should be different.
