[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#561649: [devicekit-disks] Seems to detect external HDD as internal

[Jason Heeris]

Package: devicekit-disks
Version: 009-2
Severity: normal

I have a WD external USB HDD. When I plug it in it is detected and shows
up in Nautilus, but when I try to mount it by double clicking I get the
authentication request dialog attached. "pmount-hal" allows me to mount
the external HDD as a normal user.

Maybe I've misunderstood DeviceKit-Disks nomenclature, but
"filesystem-mount-system-internal" seems to indicate that it is
detecting my disk as an internal disk.

(BTW: is this why it asks me to authenticate, unlike with a USB memory
stick where I can just mount it as a user?)

The dmesg info after attaching the drive is also attached. The disk has
no partitioning, and is formatted UDF.

Happy to provide any more info.

Cheers,
Jason
