Hello, excuse my trying to take advantage of the momentum this bug report seems to still have, but I have a somewhat related issue accessing a removable external SATA (eSATA) disk formatted with Ext3. I am using the latest Kubuntu 7.10 (which by now should be all but properly released) with KDE 3.5.7.
Upon plugging in an external, removable SATA (eSATA) hard disk formatted with Ext3 I get the following messages in .xsession-errors: kded: ERROR: mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6591d79f_e4db_4fb6_9edd_fdc18d5a9731: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy - hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000 kded: ERROR: mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6591d79f_e4db_4fb6_9edd_fdc18d5a9731 returned hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000 Dolphin (D3lphin) says "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000", too. Manually issuing "pmount /dev/sdb1 /media/mydisk" says: Error: device /dev/sdb1 is not removable Which is consistent with the lshal output saying "storage.removable = false (bool)" for that disk. Manually mounting (i.e. with mount, not pmount) works fine. Creating an entry in /etc/fstab and mounting via that works fine, too, both as a regular user and as root. I am not sure what exactly the underlying problem is, but I suspect that noone has yet thought of describing a policy for removeable, external SATA disks (formatted Ext3)? What does it take to write a suitable policy? This also seems to be purely a HAL problem, not KDE-, kernel- or even hardware-related. I am attaching the output of lshal as well. Sorry again for hijacking this thread. I will eventually file a standalone bug report on this problem, but maybe someone here knows how to work around it. Thanks in advance! ** Attachment added: "lshal output.
