[Bug 27323] Re: hal's automount_enabled_hint causes disk to beep every few seconds

[Martin Pitt]

Thanks; storage-probes.txt confirmed that hal really just polls the USB drive with the addon-storage. So it must be something else...

Can you please do

  sudo strace -f -o hald.trace -p `pidof hald`

let that run for a while (maybe a minute), then press Control-C and attach hald.trace here?
