[olug] Auto-mount prompt for eSATA drive

[Aric Aasgaard]

OK in Debian /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi
 
Comment out this part.

The following shows how to hint gnome-volume-manager and other programs
that honor the storage.automount_enabled_hint to not mount non-removable
media.

<!--
  <device>
    <match key="storage.hotpluggable" bool="false">
      <match key="storage.removable" bool="false">
        <merge key="storage.automount_enabled_hint"
type="bool">false</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
-->

Ubuntu is probably similar.

A couple dozen lines automagically appear in kern.log immedately after
plugging in the device, so something is recognizing it:
