from hal-lock man page:
--8<--
NOTES
This program is only useful for launching software that doesn’t use HAL
at all (since such software launched using hal-lock would be locked out
itself); for example a partition table editor part-foo may use wrapper script
like this
hal-lock --interface org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage --exclusive
--run /path/to/part-foo-program
--8<--
Thinking, it should be possible for the script to do something clever
and get hal-lock to call it itself with an additional argument like --I
-certify-that-I-have-a-lock-on-hal-device-storage - would be maybe nicer
than having to have two script files, but the logic would be hairier.
I will run some tests to see if hal-lock actually does do what is
required.

Status in bouillon cube: In Progress
Bug description:
If make-live-device.sh is ran from XFCE hal and co will automount the target
device as they are created, turning the whole process in a mess. At the moment
the script umount the partitions (thx claude) but the most elegant way would be
use hal-locking during the whole process so we are not interrupted at all.
