Anyway, thinking about the problem with DeviceKit system policies, I
really feel that the current situation is flawed: a process running as
root is able to mount a device either by calling mount system call or
by running the mount command, but it is unable to mount a device using
DeviceKit. Why?! This is an inconsistent policy IMHO. And I feel it
should be fixed anyway. Any comments?

Can you explain this or point to a bug ? I'm positive that this is
supposed to work.

According to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435625#c21">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435625#c21</a>
policykit doesn't allow the yum backend of PackageKit (which is running
as root) to mount devices. <br>

Thanks,<br>
