The following reply was made to PR ports/165318; it has been noted by GNATS.

HalFaq was followed on installation of the desktop and at that time the disk was correctly identified as removable. Now, when we try to mount the disk the policykit error refers to mount-fixed permission, not mount-removable. The users have mount-removable permissions (and now mount-fixed as a work around). The lshal output provided with the report, clearly shows that removable is not set. I've done tracing in hald source to see where it gets it's info from and it points to cam, but I'm unable to figure out how to get that info from camcontrol(8). If you know a way how to do that, I'll add it to the report. -- Mel
