Hello everyone, I am not subscribed to the list, so please CC me in any
responses.

I am having an issue with a Firefly USB external 20GB hard drive.  Using
kernel 2.6.11 and below, the device mounted fine.  However, mm-sources
from 2.6.12-rc4-mm1 and above (and 2.6.12) it no longer mounts fine.

Not entirely true - It does, if I create the mount point manually,
however, I use pmount and hal/dbus.  I have tracked down the error, by using


[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ pmount -d /dev/sda1 /media/FIREFLY
resolved /dev/sda1 to device /dev/sda1
mount point to be used: /media/FIREFLY
no iocharset given, current locale encoding is UTF-8
locale encoding uses UTF-8, setting iocharset to 'utf8'
Cleaning lock directory /var/lock/pmount/_dev_sda1
find_sysfs_device: looking for sysfs directory for device 8:1
find_sysfs_device: checking whether /dev/sda1 is on /sys/block/sda (8:0)
find_sysfs_device: major device numbers match
find_sysfs_device: minor device numbers do not match, checking

device_removable: corresponding block device for /dev/sda1 is /sys/block/sda
get_blockdev_attr: value of /sys/block/sda/removable == 0
Error: device /dev/sda1 is not removable
policy check failed

I am not sure what all information to provide, this is on a Sharp Mebius
laptop, I use the uhci-hcd module, and usb mass storage.

cat /sys/block/sda/removable returns 0  (it should return 1 shouldn't it?)

Please let me know if I can be of any more assistance.
