Concerning fixed hard drives ( previous comment ), this is an
intentional behavior from the maintainer of HAL Martin Pitt, if
PolicyKit is not included (and this is the case in Feisty) :
debian/patches/55_nonpolkit-mount-policy.patch: Implement a policy check
if PolicyKit is not available: Only allow mounting of removable devices
to non-root users.
+ /* root can do everything; only allow handling removable devices
+ * without uid change to non-root users */
+ if (!invoked_by_uid || strcmp(invoked_by_uid, "0"))
+ if (!privilege || strcmp (privilege,
"hal-storage-removable-mount"))
+ permission_denied_privilege (privilege,
invoked_by_uid);
