Package: pmount Version: 0.9.20-2 Severity: normal This happens on both of my USB external hard drives. Both are 500GB and contain two partitions with ext3. All partitions have partition labels. For example:
cmpq:~# pmount /dev/sda1 wdp5 works with no errors,but cmpq:~# pmount-hal /dev/sda1 Error: libhal_ctx_init: (null): (null) And there really is a label: cmpq:~# ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 20100503_211611 HDA3 -> ../../hda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 20100503_211608 HDA6 -> ../../hda6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 20100503_212328 wdp5 -> ../../sda1 <----- see lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 20100503_214725 wdp7 -> ../../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 20100503_212329 wdpf -> ../../sda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 20100503_214731 wdph -> ../../sdb2 I think pmount-hal did work about a month ago, but maybe it was longer ago than that.
