ivman 0.6.14 does not mount anything

I have always successfully used ivman for all my automounting needs but on a recent installation I stumbled upon a problem.

ivman does not mount any media, be that usb sticks or cd's (data cd).

It seems that the problem is in pmount:

Code: Select all

pmount /dev/sdb1
Error: device /dev/sdb1 is not removable

cat /sys/block/sdb/removable
1

Tried the workarounds for the previous versions but the problem is NOT in the removable bit - it IS removable but still does not mount. Tried to google and thoroughly read the HOWTO on wiki, still nothing helps....

pmount 0.9.16
hal 0.5.9-r1

Any ideas or suggestions?

I have this same problem.

My USB Storage devices that have udev rules to create symlinks like /dev/ipod are auto mounted by ivman but if I plug in just some random USB mass storage device it is not auto mounted into /media by ivman.

udev-119
hal-0.5.11-r1
ivman-0.6.14

Do you have CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 kernel option unset ?
If yes, then you're affected by this bug.
Upstream has been informed, but I don't know if any progress has been made.
