I'm running Etch, and receive the following error when trying to unmount
a volume that has been (one assumes) mounted by gnome-volume-manager:
cannot open /media/.hal-mtab
True enough, something is creating /media/.hal-mtab-lock, but at no
point during mounting or umounting is there a .hal-mtab. This used to
"just work." What might the problem be?
