OK, I have some answer to the latter, but it doesn't seem to work:
[rgheck at rghquad ~]$ dbus-send --system --print-reply
--dest=org.freedesktop.Hal
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_4A56_7815
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Mount string:"/media/disk"
string:"vfat" array:string:""
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Mount" with
signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"
doesn't exist
And yet:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_4A56_7B15'
access_control.file = '/dev/sde1' (string)
access_control.type = 'removable-block' (string)
block.device = '/dev/sde1' (string)
...
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_argnames = {'mount_point fstype
extra_options', 'extra_options', 'extra_options'} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_execpaths =
{'hal-storage-mount', 'hal-storage-unmount', 'hal-storage-eject'}
(string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_names = {'Mount', 'Unmount',
'Eject'} (string list)
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_signatures = {'ssas', 'as',
'as'} (string list)
What have I done wrong?
