Subject: hal: USB mass storage doesn't auto mount Package: hal Version: 0.5.10-3 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** Hello, I'm having trouble with gnome-volume-manager auto mounting USB mass storage drives. I can mount the drive manually without any trouble. This is what gnome-volume-manager shows: manager.c/2535: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1058_910_574341533830313431333534_4 manager.c/2535: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1058_910_574341533830313431333534_4_if0 manager.c/2535: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1058_910_574341533830313431333534_4_usbraw manager.c/2535: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1058_910_574341533830313431333534_4_if0_scsi_host manager.c/2535: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1058_910_574341533830313431333534_4_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 manager.c/2535: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_WD_5000AAK_External_574341533830313431333534_0_0 manager.c/2302: not a mountable volume: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_WD_5000AAK_External_574341533830313431333534_0_0 manager.c/2535: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_3652_818B manager.c/2358: volume.ignore set to true on /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_3652_818B, not mounting Like you see, volume.ignore is set to true, but I cannot see any reason why it does. All other options are set just fine: the filesystem is right, the drive has a partition, etc. I hope this helps, Greetings, Thijs Van der Schaeghe. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20071030-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libc6 2.7-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:4.2.2-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.10-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.10-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libsmbios1 0.13.10-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa ii libstdc++6 4.2.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-8 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id0 0.114-2 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mount 2.13-12 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:2.2.4-1.1 Linux PCI Utilities ii pm-utils 0.99.2-3 utilities and scripts for power ma ii udev 0.114-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.73-5 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii eject 2.1.5-6 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer pn libsmbios-bin <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
