The problem is that hal and other unprivileged programs cannot read the raw hard
disk partition since this requires root privileges or membership in group "disk"
(which is equivalent to root). We could add a setuid root wrapper to hal to read
device labels, but this is nontrivial. Maybe hal 0.6 changes this when the
architecture is changed to be more modular.
