Whatever is going on with this Seagate USB drive is NOT new with F7.

The system knows about the device, however.

It still sounds like a udev/hal issue.
I've got
idVendor 0x0bc2 Seagate RSS LLC
idProduct 0x0502
Now I guess it means trying figure out how to automate the mount, etc.
Tips, starting points, howtos, anyone?
