Comment 8 for bug 588530

Based on comment #7, are you saying that you need something like the following if both udisks and hal-lock are present together?

E.g.:

 udisks --inhibit -- \
  hal-lock --interface org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage --exclusive \
   --run "/path-to-gpartedbin $*"

My testing on Lucid with only the udisks command (without hal-lock) has shown that udisks alone appears to prevent auto-mounting.

E.g.:

 sudo udisks --inhibit -- /path-to-gpartedbin $*
