This one is solved. PolicyKit was the culprit, giving my uid mysterious permissions, so that gnome-volume-manager decided to treat all unmounted partitions as removable media. However, even if it's from only two days ago, I don't remember what had led to the following in /var/log/secure: Dec 3 16:43:53 opc4 polkit-grant-helper[6380]: granted use of action='org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed' to uid 500 [auth='root'] Under which circumstances would that happen?
