[Bug 73227] Re: [feisty] some partitions do not appear in Places menu

[Florent Mertens]

This issue is due to :

hal-0.5.8.1/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi :
[...]
     <!-- Ignore fixed partitions which are automatically mounted from fstab -->
      <match key="linux.fstab.mountpoint" exists="true">
        <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
        <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="defaults"> 
          <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
        </match>
        <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="auto">
          <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
        </match>
        <match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="noauto"> 
          <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
        </match>
      </match>
[...]

Volume mounted in fstab with "defaults" and/or "auto" option are ignored
which is something wrong in my opinion. People are used to see their
devies (mounted or not) in computer:// and i don't see any reason why we
should ignore those drives.
