Package: hal Version: 0.5.10-5 Severity: normalI have an ide to usb external disk interface, the ME-720U2. It's a DIY kit for 3.5" devices, an external enclosure. It connects to usb port, and the kernel recognizes it. Hal does recognize it too: I can see that the disk mount applet shows me the partitions of the ide disk, and within a few seconds all the partition are mounted, and are named usb0, usb1, etc. However, when I try to copy some file to one of those partition, I'm told I haven't the wright permissions. Actually I can see that those partitions are mounted as root:root, and the permissions are rw-r--r--, so that I as a user cannot use them, although I use sudo or convert myself into the root user. This is different from what happens with cd's, that are mounted as user:root. Besides that, I as the gnome user cannot umount them from the disk mounter applet. When I try to umount them, a window shows with the error: "device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL", and that appears incorrect, since hal mounted them (I suppose: they were mounted automatically).
If the device was not listed in /media/.hal-mtab, then indeed it was *not* mounted by hal. Hal itself doesn't do any automounting. It's the desktop environment (gnome-volume-manager, kde kded_mediamager etc.) which does the mounting (through hal).
Which environment are you using? The bug should be reassigned there. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
