Well, I am not even sure this is a problem with udev or if I did something wrong, but the "auto-mount feature" of gnome apparently stopped working after this upgrade. But the system boot fines, the external usb disk is still properly detected is dmesg, the correct devices are created and with the proper permissions : brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 16 août 30 00:32 /dev/sdb brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 17 août 30 00:32 /dev/sdb1
And I can still mount it manually just fine. Just the automatic mount stopped working. So I have no idea what the problem is.
As I saw there : http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2006-August/005777.html The event chain goes like this : kernel -> udev -> hal -> dbus -> g-v-m -> dbus -> hal -> kernel Since we are only changing udev, I thought the problem should be in udev->hal communication, and that hal needs to be updated somehow. But I have not found how to debug hal, to be sure hal is indeed the problem and that it does not see the udev event. I also checked if there were any hal git commits related to udev, and found a recent one : http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commit;h=f6af40c1e7ea54e69eb2d259... But I re-introduced the udevinfo symlink (ln -s /sbin/udevadm /usr/bin/udevinfo) and it did not help. I can reproduce this with the 126 version made by Aaron, the 127 version made by Tobias, and my own nearly vanilla 127 version (on this note, I don't know why Arch has to change so many things from vanilla).
