Created attachment 19597 [details] [review] Patch Using (on Fedora 9): hal-0.5.11-2.fc9.x86_64 hal-info-20080607-1.fc9.noarch My HP 6500 laptop's recovery partition is no longer ignored by hal, and its mounted when I log in. Looking at the exceptions in 20-storage-methods.fdi there is a rule: <!-- HP ships desktops with a recovery partition --> <match key="volume.fstype" string="vfat"> <match key="volume.label" string="HP_RECOVERY"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> However, this doesn't match for me because the recovery partition is NTFS. I'm not sure why anything is checking the fstype, but I've attached a patch to look for either. The hard drive got replaced by HP (under warranty) and it broke then. I don't have the old drive to compare against.
