I seem to have the same problem here - my USB hard disk (iRiver H140 MP3
player) is not automatically mounted any more. The modules are loaded
and /dev/sdc* is created, and gnome-volume-manager is running.
I can successfully pmount /dev/sdc1 manually.
[6:26pm] hamish@noddy:~> hal-device | grep sdc1
block.device = '/dev/sdc1' (string)
linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/block/sdc/sdc1' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/block/sdc/sdc1' (string)
So it looks like gnome-volume-manager is not doing the right thing.
On another PC of mine, PCMCIA IDE disks (ie compact flash card in PCMCIA
adapter) are not automatically mounted, but hal-device doesn't list the
device so I presume it's a hal or udev problem firstly.
