[Bug 48118] Re: allow mounting hard disk partitions with a gksudo mount wrapper

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

If we will solve this bug in correct way, then bug #16356 (LiveCD does
not mount hard disk partitions) will be solved too :)

Now we are missing 2 things:
1. gksudo mount wrapper GUI, maybe gnome-mount package will fit here.
2. unmounted hard disk partitions are not visible in Nautilus Computer:/ location

To fix second thing we must improve debian/patches/02_ignored_volumes.patch in hal package - "volume.ignore" key should be set to true  only when "volume.is_mounted" is true. I'm attaching improved 02_ignored_volumes.patch (from hal 0.5.7.1-0ubuntu15) to this bug - this was only one-line fix :)
Btw, when using file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi from upsteam then Nautilus shows unmounted hard disk partitions in Computer:/ location.


** Attachment added: "Improved 02_ignored_volumes.patch from hal 0.5.7.1-0ubuntu15 to show umounted volumes in gnome-vfs computer location and mounted to /media non-removable volumes on the Desktop"
