Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
if you connect a sata disk to the external sata port you have to configure it as internal drive. org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed must be enabled for non admin users to be able to mount such a drive. If it is connected by USB it is recognized as removable drive. cheers Reimar ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- misleading authorization "Mounting file systems from internal drives" by using esata external drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
