Hi Modestas, here you are. Thanks for taking time looking into the problem. These are on a different laptop (an IBM ThinkPad T42). It shows the same behavior as the IBM ThinkPad T23, so I think its not the host hardware causing this behavior. Hmmm hal says --------------------------------------------------------------------- storage.removable.media_size = 60011642880 (0xdf8f90000) (uint64) storage.requires_eject = false (bool) storage.hotpluggable = true (bool) --------------------------------------------------------------------- when plugged in... but then also --------------------------------------------------------------------- storage.removable = false (bool) --------------------------------------------------------------------- and then --------------------------------------------------------------------- storage.removable.media_available = true (bool) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Does that mean that the USB harddrive case itself is hotplugable but I cannot remove the harddisk out of he USB harddrive case while its running (removable)? Then maybe just allowing mounting removable drives isn't enough and hal should also allow mounting hotplugable drives. But then when the admin adds a new internal SATA hotplugable drive he might not want users fiddling with it. Still I can add or remove the drive from the system, its an USB drive and I want to access it as a user. So maybe allowing for hotplugable USB drives? ;) lshal --monitor: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E added usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_if0 added usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_if0_scsi_host added usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_usbraw added usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 added usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0_scsi_generic added storage_serial_FUJITSU_MHT2060AT_DEF1092C369E added volume_uuid_3b6664f8_55fa_4191_ba67_fee9b3841bbb added volume_uuid_4285_F899 added usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0_scsi_generic removed volume_uuid_3b6664f8_55fa_4191_ba67_fee9b3841bbb removed volume_uuid_4285_F899 removed usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 removed usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_if0_scsi_host removed usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_usbraw removed usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E_if0 removed usb_device_4b4_6830_DEF1092C369E removed storage_serial_FUJITSU_MHT2060AT_DEF1092C369E removed --------------------------------------------------------------------- There is says that I "removed" it ;-) Regards, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7
