Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources My laptop has 2 HDD: 1. internal HDD (4 partisions) 2. external eSata HDD External HDD is configured to be automounted at start and connection (as 2 windows partitions of internal HDD) There are two scenerios how they can be connected: A. eSata HDD is not connected when computer starts 1. internal HDD gets /dev/hda 2. all windows partitions are properly automounted 3. then I connect eSata HDD to computer 4. eSata gets /dev/hdb 5. eSata is automounted B. eSata HDD is connected when computer starts 1. internal HDD gets /dev/hdb 2. external HDD gets /dev/hda 3. devices are not automounted 4. when I try to mount them from Dolphin, I get information, that org.freedesktop.hal.storage permissions are not granted Both scenerios should result in all partitions mounted.
At first glance, this looks like a bug with Hal. It sounds like the device isn't getting tagged as being removable. To check this, search for your device with: hal-find-by-capability --capability storage Pick the UDI it gives that looks like your eSATA drive, and look at the value of storage.removable via: hal-device <udi> If it is false, have a look at what DeviceKit says too, for the 'detachable' value: devkit-disks --show-info <device-in-/dev> If DeviceKit says it is removable, then I guess you'll just have to wait until the DeviceKit solid backend is finished. Hal is being depreciated, so theres not likely going to be a bug fix for hal anytime soon.
