[Bug 138484] [gutsy] kio_media_mounthelper can not mount devices from /etc/fstab

[Stefan Fleiter]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

choosing mount for my external usb drive in dolphin or executing
/usr/bin/kio_media_mounthelper -m media:/sda1
I get the following in ~/.xsession-errors:

kded: ERROR: mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_b4a55d59_873b_42e8_9e01_9e86bab503fe: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied - Device /dev/sda1 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refusing to mount.
kded: ERROR: mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_b4a55d59_873b_42e8_9e01_9e86bab503fe returned Berechtigungen verweigert

This is my /etc/fstab entry:
UUID=b4a55d59-873b-42e8-9e01-9e86bab503fe    /media/backup  ext3  defaults,user,rw,user_xattr,noatime,noauto 0 0

If I change the fstab from UUID to /dev/ entry everything is ok and the drive gets mounted:
/dev/sda1    /media/backup  ext3  defaults,user,rw,user_xattr,noatime,noauto 0 0


Output from lshal for this drive:
