I have selinux disabled. More info. The command that is run is gnome-mount, I can issue the command myself from the command line, and add -v -nt for better diagnostics. /usr/bin/gnome-mount -v -nt --hal- udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6161_3263 I get: gnome-mount 0.6 ** (gnome-mount:11405): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6161_3263 ** (gnome-mount:11405): DEBUG: read mount point '/media/razr' from gconf string key '/system/storage/volumes/_org_freedesktop_Hal_devices_volume_uuid_6161_3263/mount_point' ** (gnome-mount:11405): DEBUG: read default option 'shortname=lower' from gconf strlist key /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options ** (gnome-mount:11405): DEBUG: read default option 'uid=' from gconf strlist key /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options ** (gnome-mount:11405): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6161_3263 with mount_point='/media/razr', fstype='', num_options=2 ** (gnome-mount:11405): DEBUG: option='shortname=lower' ** (gnome-mount:11405): DEBUG: option='uid=500' ** (gnome-mount:11405): WARNING **: Mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6161_3263 org.freedesktop.Hal.PermissionDenied : Permission denied: Not in active session If I run this command as root, it works. I didn't initially have a mount point, it was defaulting to '', but adding one didn't help. Should I make gnome-mount set-uid-root? Should I force haldaemon to run as root instead of user 68? Perhaps these problems happened because I disabled SELinux.
