Description of problem: Compact Flash card in a pcmcia adaptor is listed as a non-removable drive, i.e. SYSFS{removable} is set to "0". This seems to be preventing gnome-mount from mounting the drive. gnome-mount tells me I am "not privileged to mount the volume" (even as root). Works fine if I place an entry in /etc/fstab which makes sense as HAL probably considers it to be a "fixed" disk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert CF card in adaptor 2. PCMCIA subsystem recognizes device and assigns it to /dev/hde 3. Actual results: cat /sys/block/hde/removable 0 Expected results: cat /sys/block/hde/removable 1 Additional info: This operation has worked fine on FC1 - FC4
