hald: mounted /dev/sdg1 on behalf of uid 501
halevt: Running: /usr/bin/halevt-explore-mount "/media/disk"
halevt: Running: halevt-mount -s

Permanent feature

Steps to Reproduce:

2.insert USB drive
3.click on unmount arrow icon beside drive icon in Places window

José, do you know if pcmanfm is still using the deprecated hal ?

I could not reproduce on a up to date Cauldron. It must have been fixed by an ud* update.

Please re-open if the bug is still there for you.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WORKSFORME

I agree that on a fully updated Beta1 install I am no longer prompted for a root password to unmount the drive. It still causes a core dump so Bug 4640 is still there.

Interesting that the USB stick is no longer mounted in /media. I wonder if that was part of the solution or just an unintended side-effect.

Hmmm, looks like USB hard drive mount point has moved too.

The mount point du jour appears to be /run/media/USERNAME/......
