Right now, installing hal will result in hald-addon-storage polling removable devices from boot - even if nothing's paying attention. This is a surprisingly large power consumption hit on modern systems. udisks starts the polling on-demand, which is preferable, but some legacy applications still require hal.
I've just split hald-addon-storage out into its own package in rawhide. If you need the hald-addon-storage functionality (ie, you rely on hal for media change events) then please add an explicit depends on hal-storage-addon. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
