Hi guys.
I know, that this is not the first post for mounting devices as normal users but ...
Is some possibilities how to mount devices as normal users without consolekit? I have been using udiskie but it requires consolekit and I have problem with this daemon, besause is takes a lot of ram, so I want to ask you for some others ways how to mount devices.
Thanks for your patience

A naive solution could be to create a group called "mounters", add your user(s) to it, and edit sudoers to permit the mounters group to use mount and umount. I say naive because of the ramifications involved in letting potentially multiple users all have control over multiple devices being mounted to arbitrary locations.

Have you checked out pmount?
It has worked wonderfully for me.

You can use udiskie (or similar) without consolekit if you create the pkla file:

I still have pkla file, but if I start openbox without ck-launch-session udiskie is not working any more.

I have never used consolekit or any of those udisk/udiskie/devmon wrappers and things mount automatically for me fine just using the basic udev rules. I just took the first example listed in the udev wiki and it works flawlessly.
