automounting issues & gnome-mount

[Doug Goldstein]

I can't get anything to automount anymore with no idea as to why. I've
found the "fix" at the bottom of the e-mail but I'd like to know the
real fix.

Here's the following from lshal -m:
10:40:06.833: storage_model__NEC_DVD_RW_ND_3550A property
storage.removable.media_available = true
10:40:11.443: volume_label_PSDK added

The following is from gnome-volume-manager:
manager.c/2535: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_PSDK
manager.c/2348: Changed: /dev/hda
manager.c/1782: mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_PSDK...
manager.c/797: executing command: /usr/bin/gnome-mount
--hal-udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_PSDK
gnome-mount 0.6


And that's it. Nothing further happens.

I've tried gnome-mount 0.5 and that doesn't work either. The only
difference there is that on the commandline for 0.5 --no-ui is passed.

$ /usr/bin/gnome-mount
--hal-udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_PSDK
gnome-mount 0.6

$ /usr/bin/gnome-mount --verbose
--hal-udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_PSDK
gnome-mount 0.6

$ /usr/bin/gnome-mount --block --verbose
--hal-udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_PSDK
gnome-mount 0.6
** (gnome-mount:1379): DEBUG: Mounting
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_PSDK
** (gnome-mount:1379): DEBUG: read default option 'uid=' from gconf
strlist key /system/storage/default_options/iso9660/mount_options
** (gnome-mount:1379): DEBUG: Mounting

fstype='', num_options=1
** (gnome-mount:1379): DEBUG:   option='uid=5000'
Mounted /dev/hda at "/media/PSDK"

Victory!

So if anyone has any idea as to why mounting doesn't work unless the
--block option is passed to gnome-mount or the fact that --verbose
doesn't really do anything unless it's successful...
