Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Hello,

Some use cases (e.g. using a USB key as an authentication token along
with 'pamusb') require automount to be disabled for specific drive(s)
(rather than globally for all drives, using for example 'gconf-editor ->
apps -> nautilus -> preferences -> media_automount = false')

This could be achieved using HAL policies. Example given (in 
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/my-policy.fdi):
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="storage.serial" string="some-serial-discovered-with-lshal">
      <merge key="storage.automount_enabled_hint" type="bool">false</merge>
      <merge key="volume.policy.should_mount" type="bool">false</merge>
      <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

Unfortunately, in Lucid Lynx 10.04, this does not seem to work
(anylonger?).

Nautilus should honor (at least one of) the possible HAL settings listed
above.

Or is there a new recommended way to achieve this behavior?

Cheers
