DiskMounter Plugin does not work (Karmic)

[k_laci]

Since Gnome 2.28 does not use hal for mounting, DiskMounter Plugin can no longer interact with Gnome, e.g. DMP is unable to unmount drives mounted by Gnome.

I've also found a similar kind of behaviour with the Disk Mounter Plugin, but I can only unmount drives and not mounting them again. If i try to do so i got this error in ~/.xsession-errors:

[Error 20:27:42.842] Mountt operation failed Unable to mount the selected volume., detail: mount: can't find /dev/sdb2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

I think the cause of this error message is the same as suggested in the previous post. Same cause, different effects. Different bugs??

The mount/unmount behavior was already unreliable in Jaunty, we might need to switch to use gio sharp, but it seems not in the repository. Should we pack it ourselves?

Chris S/Alex already are packaging their own GIO# in Docky. You can probably make use of that.
