Description Anton Guda 2008-03-01 13:25:45 UTC 
Description of problem:

PolicyKit uses non-standard d_type field of direntry structire.
Some filesystems (for example XFS) don't use (and don't fill) this field.
So, if /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy placed on such filesystem,
PolicyKit ignores all policy files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

PolicyKit-0.7-6

How reproducible:
always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put  /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy to XFS filesystem
2. restart PolicyKit
3. try to mount usb drive, access to photo .....
  
Actual results:
All actions disabled (dy default w/o policy files).

Expected results:
Actions controlled by policy.
