I'll be damned if I can find it in the hal sources. Nor do I see
anything int he hal specfile that patches or excludes it. Do you have
any reference to it being removed from the Fedora packages?
I find the change from F7 annoying, but I thought it was due to the
removal of 99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi, which had
previously hidden all fixed disks (a policy that many people
complained about). Now that F8 using Policy Kit, this file is no
longer included. The hal changelog mentions this:
* Tue Jul 31 2007 - David Zeuthen <davidz@xxxxxxxxxx> - 0.5.10-0.git20070731%{?dist}
[...]
- Drop 99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi; this is now
controlled by PolicyKit
I added that file back as a temporary work-around, until I learn how
to use PolicyKit or some other way to do this.
