Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

I attach a modified version of patch used in 0.5.9 for making it compatible with 0.5.11 version, it still maintains default to mount all partitions but allow users (like me) to prevent all partitions automount simply changing:
              <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>

from "false" to "true" in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/95-storage-ignore-fixed-drives.fdi (maybe this information could be added to ebuild for letting more users know about this capability) 

This is important for me because my /dev/sda has 8 partitions for other systems that I don't want to automount, also, it delays a lot first gnome login after a boot

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always

Seems that previous patch doesn't work after rebooting and login at first time :-/, I attach opensuse's patch that seems to work as expected
