Code:
sudo nano /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla
enter following:

Code:
[Actions for xbmc user]
Identity=unix-user:xbmc
Action=org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.*
ResultActive=yes
ResultAny=auth_admin
ResultInactive=yes
and save Nod

if you do that, you will break the supend, shutdown, reboot, etc.

Hmm, tbh I find it weird that devicekit flags usbdrives as non-removable. I guess its a big disk your trying to mount right? like 50gb or more?

I unfortuanatly don't have any way of testing it but I'd love more people to say if the see the same issue, with logs and such.

After camelot I'll put some more interesting logging and we'll see if we can get some more sense out of this.

I might have the same problem but only after I install some gnome stuff and policykit-1 is installed. With a clean install it works fine.
