After today's system upgrade I cannot mount my pendrive. Here's what I get when connecting it via USB port
Some of the "solutions" I've found on the net seem very sophisticated. Can anyone confirm this error?

"... being a Linux user is sort of like living in a house inhabited by a large family of carpenters and architects. Every morning when you wake up, the house is a little different. Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed."

This worked for me.

"There is easy fix for this error. Just define security rules
in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf like these:
<config version="0.1">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<match user="Put user account name here">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<match user="Put user account name here">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>
</config>
First rule allows automounting pendrives, the second one is for fixed disks
like hard drives."

WOW! Thanks a lot! It worked nicely On the second hand I'm still confused why did this happen. I guess recent HAL upgrade broke something...

I'm using next way:
<config version="0.1">
<define_admin_auth group="wheel"/>
<match user="root">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>

Hmmm...if I'm thinking correctly this entry gives root privileges to all wheel-group members. Is it safe? I mean Linux is open source and we can modify every single config file, but I'm always trying to think about certain security issues.

I don't like it at all, I prefer this solution (it restores the functionality of storage and power groups): http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65070
They say that if you play a Win cd backward you hear satanic messages. That's nothing! 'cause if you play it forwards, it installs windows.
