2010-01-11 06:40:25 Andreas Ntaflos description Binary package hint: hal I have posted about this in bug 115768 as well and will copy most of what I've written there. I am using the latest Kubuntu 7.10 (which by now should be all but properly released) with KDE 3.5.7: Linux thehostname 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux 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, hald, dmesg, etc as required by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices as well.

I am attaching the output of lshal, hald, dmesg, etc as required by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices as well. eSATA disks are are not auto mounted when plugged in. This is because udisks uses a heuristic to decide if it should auto mount a drive. The heuristic is motivated by the desire to not auto mount internal disks/partitions that belong to other operating systems. The heuristic currently makes the assumption that disks connected via a usb bus are external, and disks connected with other buses ( sata, scsi ) are internal, and thus does not mount them. This heuristic is inherently unreliable as usb disks can potentially be internal, and sas/sata disks can be external. Thus, the heuristic needs to be disabled, and all unknown disks need to be auto mounted. Disks detected but left unconfigured at install time should have entries in /etc/fstab set to noauto to prevent their being auto mounted.
