Automounting broken [SOLVED]

As of the new 2.6.16 kernel and udev 088
Automounting fails due to /dev/sd* not being present at fstab or mtab... of course manual mounting works.
It's very likely an udev issue... has anyone found a remedy (besides going back to 087- which by the way doesn't work)?

Re: Automounting broken [SOLVED]

I'm having the same problem and have not yet found a way to resolve it

The problem I am having is that since my latest update  /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi is missing

I'm getting a message that no mount policy is specified on the volume or parent device

Re: Automounting broken [SOLVED]

It also happens with the beyond kernel, BTW.

Re: Automounting broken [SOLVED]

I copied hal from /var/abs/extra/system/hal to /var/abs/local and replaced the PKGBUILD with the one from revision 1.29 at http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … root=Extra

I did a makepkg and copied /var/abs/local/hal/pkg/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi to /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor and now my automount is working again

I'm not really recommending this because I have to wonder why it was removed but it's working for me until I find the correct way to fix it

btw I'm using the beyond kernel

Re: Automounting broken [SOLVED]

Ummm... I see, thanks for the remark
To me 10-storage-policy.fdi as well as 20-storage-methods.fdi aren't missing, but they don't have proper xml tags. Maybe it's a bug at the hal sourcecode?
I see the previous revision uses patches for both, while revision 1.30 doesn't.

EDIT: By upgrading to newest KDE, which included a new pmount version the problem went away. So, I will flag it as "solved".
