Why has Gnome automounting of devices stopped working?

0

GParted version 0.3.6 (and many earlier versions) created a file to prevent problems that occur if a device is automounted while gparted is working on the device. This file is removed when GParted exits normally. However, if GParted terminated abnormally it could leave this file on the computer. Newer GParted versions (0.3.7 and greater) do not use this file, and instead rely on hal-lock to acquire device locks. To fix the problem you can do one of the following: 1. Remove the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi &nbsp &nbsp or, 2. Start and then exit gparted. This will also remove the file.
