== Issue ==

	Error message when attempting to access new secondary IDE harddrive.
	
	Cannot mount volume
	org.freedesktop Ha;.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy
	hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1001

== Enviroment ==

Ubuntu 1.10 Feisty
New NTFS hard drive added as primary slave.

== Description ==

This is an intentional behavior from the maintainer of HAL Martin Pitt, if PolicyKit is not included is is is not in Feisty :

debian/patches/55_nonpolkit-mount-policy.patch: Implement a policy check
     if PolicyKit is not available: Only allow mounting of removable devices
     to non-root users.

+ /* root can do everything; only allow handling removable devices
+ * without uid change to non-root users */
+ if (!invoked_by_uid || strcmp(invoked_by_uid, "0"))
+ if (!privilege || strcmp (privilege, "hal-storage-removable-mount"))
+ permission_denied_privilege (privilege, invoked_by_uid);

== Resolution ==

	Asume root privilages before attempting to mount the hard drive.
