The cart is before the horse here, Duncan. By the time I figured out |
| 8 |
that the problem was related to the plugdev group, I had found proper |
| 9 |
references to it on Google and had it solved. Before that, I was |
| 10 |
looking at Hal, Dbus and udev config files to try to find an obvious |
| 11 |
config error related to the error message I got, quoted in my first |
| 12 |
post. The error message was ambiguous in this regard, and didn't |
| 13 |
mention plugdev. There was nothing leading me to review the ebuild |
| 14 |
notes. God bless Google! |

On top of that, I'd had no trouble with hot-plugging flash drives, my |
| 17 |
camera, or anything else up to that point. It was only the WD USB hard |
| 18 |
drive that gave me grief. |

I'll suggest that we end this thread. Beating this dead horse isn't as |
| 21 |
much fun as it was yesterday ;-) |
