I once has a problem with automount and this tip helped.
WBR, flashkot
Man that is frustrating. Still unable to mount the NTFS partitions on the removable disk.
The wiki helped with the ext3 partitions, but I still do not understand why man hal was wrong on suggesting the following (3) scenarios:
<define_admin_auth group="wheel"/>
Should give members of the wheel group full access to all mounts, but it did not?
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <match group="users"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match>
Should give group "users" (the default group GID 100) the ability to mount removable devices but it did not?
<match user="david"> <return result="yes"/> </match>
Should give "me" full access to mounting/unmounting, but it did not?
The question then becomes why did the following work for ext3:
<match user="david"> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*"> <return result="yes"/> </match> <match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options"> <return result="yes" /> </match> <match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options"> <return result="yes" /> </match> </match>
Why in the world did this <match user="david"> work when the one just above didn't? One of my goals in life is to avoid looking in /etc/hal and /etc/dbus-1 ... I'm failing miserably ;-)
