Firewire hard drive is considered system-internal

Thanks for your report. I have an attempted fix for this. Can you please add my PPA

  https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/ppa/

(System -> Admin -> Software Sources -> Other software -> Add)

and upgrade your system? This will pull in version 007-1karmic1test1 of devicekit-disks. Please disconnect and reconnect the drive after the upgrade and check if it gets automounted without password then.

If it does not work, please do this in a terminal:

  ls -lR /sys|gzip -9 > /tmp/sys.txt.gz

and attach /tmp/sys.txt.gz here.

Thanks!

Martin,

Thanks for your fast answer. I just add you PPA to Synaptic and upgraded
my system, it is ok, the different kind of partitions (fat32, ntfs,
ext3 ans HFS+) of my firewire disks are now auto mounted with your patch.

I still have problem with firewire: Ffado driver for firewire sound card
can't find my Presonus Firebox, wich work well with Ubuntu Hardy and the
freebob driver.

Do I have to report another bug against Ffado, or is it the same kind of
problem ? In order to help you, you will find enclosed the report of the
command line you suggest in case of problem.

Thanks for testing. Great, then I'll supply the patch upstream and upload it soon.

> firewire sound card

That's an entirely different problem, I'm afraid. Can you please report it against libffado?

Patch sent upstream for review.

That's an entirely different problem, I'm afraid. Can you please report
it against libffado?

I will do it, thanks for solving the problem.

This bug was fixed in the package devicekit-disks - 007-1ubuntu1

---------------
devicekit-disks (007-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Upload current Debian git head to pick up recent bug fixes.
  * debian/rules: Enable quilt patch system. Add quilt build dependency.
  * Add 01-mkfs-tempdir.patch: Daemon does not create /var/run/DeviceKit-disks/,
    so mkfs jobs fail. Just create the directory in /tmp, this is what /tmp is
    for, after all. (See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24265)
  * Add 00git-fix-inhibit.patch: Actually make Inhibit() work again. Taken
    from upstream git head. (LP: #428133)
  * Add 02-unlock-CD-trays-after-mounting.patch: Unlike in the hal world, we
    do not have a daemon polling CD drives for eject button presses. In order
    to make hardware tray eject buttons work, unlock the tray after
    mounting a CD. This is pretty much equivalent to yanking out USB sticks,
    which we already handle reasonably (detecting disappeared device,
    force-unmounting). (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24052,
    LP: #397734)
  * Add 03-fix-subsystem-check-for-firewire.patch: Firewire subsystem is
    called "ieee1394" in current Linux. Now check for both "ieee1394" and
    "firewire". This fixes firewire drives to not be considered system
    internal any more. (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24351,
    LP: #442604)
  * Add 04-mount-vfat-with-shortname-mixed-by-default.patch: The previous
    default, shortname=lower, breaks all-uppercase file names ("touch
    FOO" creates "foo"), thus breaks rsync, and Windows compatibility. The
    default was changed in the Linux kernel for 2.6.32 as well.
    (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24129, LP: #428174)
  * Add 05-dont-remove-NULL-values-from-hash-tables.patch: In device_remove(),
    device_file, object_path, or dev are sometimes NULL. Do not attempt to
    remove NULL from the hash tables, since this crashes. This is mainly a
    robustification patch, it does not really fix the underlying
    state bookkeeping. (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24264,
    LP: #414407)

@Lionel,
I have the hardware to test it. Let me know when the fix is released in
a repository (Medibuntu, PPA, etc...), so I can test it on Karmic Beta
and report if it works or not.

@Tobby,
Thanks a lot for your answer. Don't matter about your time. I hope
everything go well for you.
