This should be fixed in the next selinux-policy i believe (it works here) http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=selinux-policy.git;a=commitdiff;h=1c0528ed3aea368b3ebc13562b31336c10203b26 Well why do you think this is SELinux issue? Are you getting AVC msgs? It this working in permissive mode? Well this might not be a bug, more a feature-request. I don't know the correct responsibility component of this feature. Maybe its a Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 behaviour? When I boot a Gnome-LiveCD (Fedora or Ubuntu) then all found partitions (mostly windows-partitions with ntfs on my dual-boot systems) are mounting automatically. This is nice to me. Then I install Fedora (or Ubuntu) since 2 or 3 releases, the other partitions are not mounted automatically when I will access to such a partition. Always is the password requested. This is annoying to me and more annoying to my whole family. When I fill the partitions in fstab the Gnome 2 didn't show these partitions no more in the "places" on nautilus. This is annoying and I feel it is inconsistent. So I must learn a way to do "registry"-tricks in SELinux or gnome-configs or whatever (I don't know). In the past there are difficults to mount and write partitions with different filesystems (such as ntfs-patitions). So all beginners are gone from linux systems. Now such filesystems are no problems, but there are new difficults to access to these partitions. So the beginners are again upset on these handling on partitions. I'm using linux since many years and I'm a computer enthusiast. But this is not user-friendliness for me and my family. Why is the access on LiveCDs no problem and on installed systems such a hurdle? Is it a security-problem? I see 3 ways which are more friendliness: 1. the default behaviour on installed systems should always allow the access to all partitions. or 2. There must exist a GUI-Tool in the settings to change easily the behaviour on mounting partitions (with or without password) or 3. On the first time, when a partiton should be mounted, the passwort-dialog opens and a checkbox must exist to remember for the future the password or the accessability-mode for this partitons (or for all partitions) Can you tell me more on AVC msgs and permissive mode? I don't know enough on that. I didn't read enough how SELinux is working. Until now I feel it is not essential to me. But now I think it is more and more essentially to know more on that to use a modern linux. Thank you I think you should bring this up for discusson on a list not in a bugzilla.
