I get it now. Thought it's said in the gnome-mount docs that: "The grand plan with gnome-mount is to get the appropriate GNOME software (such as gnome-volume-manager and gnome-vfs) to use this instead of invoking mount(1)/umount(1)/eject(1) / invoking methods on HAL directly." I got confused with that and thought that gnome-mount actually did the work. I suppose gnome-mount/gnome-volume-manager simply adds some wrappers to the HAL routines so the operations don't need root privileges. I must admit I'm weak in this area. Dan, care to write a paragraph that describes the relationship between HAL - gnome-mount - gnome-volume-manager Right now the text on the gnome-mount page is wrong and we need to fix it.
