Package: hal
Version: 0.5.9-3
Severity: normal
I attach a usb disk formatted in ntfs and gnome can't mount it. I'm
using ntfs-3g and I've added options to put a uid= and gid= parameter to
the mount command with gconf. An error comes up with
Cannot mount volume.
Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy.
hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000
[uid 1000 is indeed the id of the user that's logged in]
I've added options to
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi
to allow these for both ntfs and ntfs-3g
<!-- allow these mount options for ntfs-3g -->

The strange thing is that when I check with lshal I get the following:
