Note the device "mount" options, automatically added by hal: *** /dev/sdc1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000) *** nosuid, nodev, uhelper=hal, uid=1000 Maybe the perms of the OP's device are wrong :-? > Perhaps the system daemon that I speak of is D-Bus, and it decides > whether or not to allow the umount depending on what group(s) the user > belongs to. And his missing /etc/group file is probably the key. We still don't know if "umount" works when logged with another user in a GNOME session :-?
