Details

Gnome used to add an entry in 'Computer' when I plugged in my USB hard drive. Now it doesn't. The mount point is still automatically created by hal, and gnome-volume manager sees some activity, but nothing happens in nautilus so I still have to mount the drive from the command line.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Inotify is not in our kernel, gamin not in our repositories. Not supported.

Ok, it works now. Many things have been updated and I'm now using Gnome 2.10. It may have been the previous version of gamin, or even inotify, but now it works great. Btw, gamin is becoming rather good, and inotify is getting better and better - Even if it doesn't make it into mainline really soon it is definitely worth investigating for arch... although I know you guys like vanilla kernels...

I take that back, it doesn't work.. but it still may be caused by Gamin rather than gnome itself..

What if you get rid of gamin and revert to fam? Or other option: recompile gnome-vfs yourself against gamin. The reason why we don't support gamin is because it's a piece of development software that needs kernel features not available in the mainstream kernel.

Yeah, sorry, this seems specific to the inotify backend of gamin.
