I have gnome_enable=3D"yes" and dbus_enable=3D"yes" in my rc.conf and my = usb key gets auto-mounted when i plug it in. My problem is, when i unmount the drive (either by right clicking the = icon on the desktop, or by umount command) the drive immediately remounts, and the window showing files on the = drive pops up again. The only way i can remove the drive is by killing hald, remove the = drive, and restart hald. This DOES NOT happen with any other usb drives i have used on this = system, including mp3 players. The only difference i can find (other than size) between this usb device = and others I've used, is that this one shows up as /dev/da0(s1) AND /dev/msdosfs/LEXAR, whereas the others only = show up as /dev/da0(s1). All get mounted in /media/ I've been looking into this on and off since December (got it for = Xmas), and have yet to find a solution... Does anyone have any insight as to what could be causing this problem on = this particular device? I've tried reading up on hald to see if i could find anything to help but I'm stumped. I tried = one suggestion on creating/editing an fdi file i had found on a forum, but to no avail.=20 Asking for help is really a last resort for me, this is the first time = that patience, persistence, and a good deal of googling/man page reading = hasn't solve a problem for me.
