Re: [SOLVED] Unable to mount external hard disks and flash drives

For anyone having this problem I am posting the guide that 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.
