Some weeks back I was having some trouble with gnome-mount which I was unable to figure out in detail. Last weekend I started to experience some similar problems on another machine and I decided to take a closer look. What I was able to figure out is using glabel is causing gnome-mount not being able to dismount mounted volumes and refusing to mount unmounted volumes. The error while trying to mount is a null info message and when trying to unmount a volume one gets a "mounted by another UID" message. When not using glabel (not kldload'ing glabel) gnome-mount works properly. I haven't been able to investigate deeply so this is just a BIG FAT WARNING not to use glabel with gnome as long as this problem is not solved. Probably it's an hal problem and g-m is not at fault. Both machines are recent RELENG_6 + Gnome 2.18. Joe: When the Xorg upgrade has finished (I guess you're busy these days - I'm also currently trying the upgrade path so I'm also unable to investigate till the Xorg upgrade has done) can you point me to some instructions on how we get deeper into this issue? Or are you able to recreate the problem? To recreate the symptoms, just `glabel load', start gnome (and probably restart hal before) and try to mount / dismount volumes. Or use geom_label_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf Volker
