I'm using latest hal from ports: hal-0.5.8.20070403 As this is my notebook, it's restarted on a daily basis. My desktop machine (also using Gnome2, latest) does not automount everything it can find so I'm unable to recreate the problem on that desktop. The main question is: Why or when does gnome-mount automount volumes and how does one disable automounting? If gnome-mount would not automount on startup, volumes can be mounted and unmounted without error. If it does automount, I'm receiving the error message "mounted by uid UNKNOWN". Thanks, Volker
