Requires password for unmounting #2

When I try to unmount a flash drive, it shows polkit's window (with action = org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-unmount-others) asking for a password.

Why do I consider this a bug? Very simple. Because a file manager (Caja, Nautilus, Nemo) never asks a password when you tell it to unmount a drive. So it's a flaw in bdin.

Hi Monsta,

Bdin uses udisk dbus interface to manage devices. Check your user has permissions with that.

Not very convenient interface. I don't have to enter password when I unmount a device with either file manager or umount command.
