- Do these device have entries in /etc/fstab? (Ideally they shouldn't).
- Is there a polkit authentication agent running? the output of 'ps
aux | grep polkit' should tell


It looks painfully similar to https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=60627 as well, which seems to resurrect sometimes randomly on both Mandriva and Mageia :(.

I answer myself :
I applied https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=60627 workaround :

"Eventually I've found a workaround:
add a file /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/mount.pkla with:
[Workaround for bug]
Identity=unix-user:eric
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes"

It seems polkit ans polkit1 are a bit fuzzy...

thanks to you, i was not able to find this feature  ;-)
