Package: hal
Version: 0.5.8.1-9
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
since last update (testing) I found a strange behaviour of hal. Fixed
drives are displayed on Gnome desktop and in Nautilus, even if they are
mounted by fstab. (As nice as Windows c:). This volumes are displayed
for example as : "128,7 GB Datenträger". So you have to change the
volume names with e2label, to get any information from this.
This change seems to be introduced in hal Version 0.5.8.1-7:
* Drop debian-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi in favor of
debian/patches/55_nonpolkit-mount-policy.patch.
This fixes the problem that local devices are not shown in nautilus.
(Closes: #394155, #395169, #409879)
So if this ugly behaviour shall be default, it would be nice at least to
have a stanza in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi for change to the
old style:
I borrowed from Fedora (maybe it's identical to
55_nonpolkit-mount-policy.patch, but it's gone...):
99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<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">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Putting this in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/
or placing the relevant part in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi
solves the problem for me.
Best regards,
Jörgen Bergmann
