I have no idea what an fdi file is. The only hal configuration I have done is to hal-storage-fixed-mount-change-uid.privilege and hal-storage-fixed-mount.privilege where I have added myself the the Allow i.e."Allow=uid:oberman". Of course, my system is running i386, not amd64. Any place to read up on the gnome-volume-manager? I didn't see much in the FAQ. -- R.
