The password problem was solved back in April, but some more info on the
semi random disk assignments might help someone as the question keeps
popping up:
I use genkernel and grub to boot via MBR - however root is on a btrfs
raid 10 (all SSD's, 3 are whole disk and one has root on partition 3

fstab? Workaround? Use UUID.

Hi, I only have a default polkit rule - nothing about usb.
Just noticed the mount dialog box contains:
Action: org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system
Vendor: The Udsks Project"
I have found some documents on the web, but nothing yet on how to deal
with this issue.

I have used fstab in the past -its more a workaround that breaks (i.e, a
disk usually, but not always appears as /dev/sde, and while I currently
use btrfs I also use xfs on some portable drives.)
I mean automounting of disks (pam/polkit/udsiks2 seem to be involved),
not autofs in this case

Addendum:
I forgot to answer your other question:
Maybe you also have set some rules in "/etc/polkit/rules.d/"[1], which
allows your unprivileged user to mount USB drives and SD cards without
any password.

Hello BillK,
I guess, that you are looking for the mount option "user":
/etc/fstab
/dev/sdx / ext4 noauto,user,relatime 0 2
In this way, I can mount "/dev/sdx" with an unprivileged user:
$ mount /
See also "man 8 mount" ("Non-superuser mounts").
I am not sure,
Hi,
I use a sata drive caddy with 2Tb hard disks for offline backups.
Almost everytime (within sessions are ok?) it asks for a password before
automounting. This is just annoying and has no security benefit in my
environment (why just hard disks when USB keys and SD cards don't ask
