Install udisks, udisks2. Create /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-enable-mount.rules

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system" && subject.isInGroup("storage")) { return polkit.Result.YES; } });

I did follow your advice and did create this config file. I have installed udisks and udisks2.

I can follow these steps: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi

to the step 4. where the following command: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX2

can't be completed successfully, because after I run it, I can't mount the new second partition formatted to have ext4 type filesystem.

I tried these steps by using Gparted too, but at this step Gparted can't read partitions from the during read on

/dev/mmcblk0

Gparted gives the error message: I/O error during read on /dev/mmcblk0

What can I do to solve this problem?

If my memory serves me correctly, you said that your card is read in Windows. What I would suggest you is to format it in Windows, but from the command prompt (start menu, type "cmd" or just browse accessories and start "command prompt"): In the terminal/command prompt type: diskpart.exe list disk select disk X detail disk clean create partition primary active format fs=fat32 quick assign exit
