Bug Description

Binary package hint: hal

Im in feisty I386. Three days ago there was a hal update. Since then when I have my ntfs external hard drive in I have the "eject" option now instead of unmount. When trying the eject option it gives an error saying couldnt eject the deivce and remounts the drive. As a member of the forums pointed out is if you edit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi and put false instead of true it works now. I feel this would be of great importance since any new user wouldnt want to open a terminal and manually unmount the device.
