hal does not include dm-raid devices in database

[Tobias Preclik]

Hi,

when starting the hal daemon, my dm-raid devices are not added to the
database.
Hence I cannot use gnome-mount to mount them. Here is a snippet of the
hald debug output when starting up:

13:43:09.984 [I] blockdev.c:874: block_add: sysfs_path=/sys/block/dm-1

Any nvidia_cjedaafj* partitions are not added either.

The dm-raid device nvidia_cjedaafj is created from /dev/sda and
/dev/sdb. As an
example the output of adding /dev/sda:

Querying the hal database yields no dm-raid partitions though the
dm-raid devices nvidia_cjedaafj* should be added to the hal database.

$ lshal | grep nvidia_cjedaafj
[no output]
$

I am running Gentoo Linux with a vanilla 2.6.28.9 kernel. I have
hal-0.5.11-r8 and udev-124-r2 installed. I do not run PolicyKit or
ConsoleKit.

Any help or hints are appreciated.
Best regards,
Tobias
