I may have found a workaround. It's difficult to be sure because the
problem is intermittent on my system. The change disables auto-mount for
all removable media. The technique was posted at
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.debian.devel.live/2007-11/msg00070.html. In
the 4 days since making this change I haven't had the problem and it
hasn't caused any breakage (except auto-mount doesn't work but I can
live with that).
Add this section to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi ...
<!--
Prevent automount
-->
<device>
<match key="storage.policy.should_mount" bool="true">
<merge key="storage.policy.should_mount" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
<match key="storage.automount_enabled_hint" bool="true">
<merge key="storage.automount_enabled_hint" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
<match key="storage.media_check_enabled" bool="true">
<merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
<match key="volume.policy.should_mount" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.policy.should_mount" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
<match key="volume.ignore" bool="false">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
If you try it YMMV so please post back whether it works for you or not.
