Hello,
I have also experienced the same problem with new HAL version.
The modification above does not solve the issue. On the other hand, I
have modified the file:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi
To override the policy contained in:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/debian-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi
Therefore, i have added these lines
to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi:
<device>
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false">
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
And (after restarting dbus) it solves the problem for me.
Just a question for package maintainers:
what's the rationale for setting "the property volume.ignore=true for
local devices as a security measure" ?
Perhaps it would good to improve coordination between
gnome-volume-manager and hal packages (just to make sure maintainers for
either package are aware of new modifications, or to agree on a global
policy for managing / showing / hiding volumes / devices...)
You may also add a README explaining this kind of modifications (which
may "conflict" with other packages and current desktop behaviour) and
how to override or solve them (if possible).
Thank you,
Daniel R.
