Connect/Disconnect eSATA drive like USB via Device Notifier in KDE

I would like to connect my external HDD just like any USB device when using the eSATA cable.
Contrary to what the udev wiki article says, setting the UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL flag to 0 doesn't seem to help.

my udev rule looks like this:

DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata6/host5/*", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="0"

Am I missing something?

Re: Connect/Disconnect eSATA drive like USB via Device Notifier in KDE

I have the same problem, with ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM}="0" it's better i get it mounted without password …
But i cant see it "removable" in kde device notifier or Amarok.

With "solid-hardware details /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/HD_NAME" I see it :
StorageDrive.removable = false  (bool)

Suppose it's part of the problem but dont how to change this value in udev rules
If someone could help …
