Be sure to have yourself added to the storage group:
# usermod -aG storage paul
Reboot or relogin for reloading group settings.
You also may have to add a polkit rule in
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/55-storage.rules
with this content:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { var YES = polkit.Result.YES; var permission = { // only required for udisks1: "org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount": YES, "org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal": YES, "org.freedesktop.udisks.luks-unlock": YES, "org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-eject": YES, "org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-detach": YES, // only required for udisks2: "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount": YES, "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system": YES, "org.freedesktop.udisks2.encrypted-unlock": YES, "org.freedesktop.udisks2.eject-media": YES, "org.freedesktop.udisks2.power-off-drive": YES }; if (subject.isInGroup("storage")) { return permission[action.id]; } });
