I think it's much better to use the block.agent for mounting instead of ide.agent:

block.agent gets called for the block device itself _and_ for every partition 
with DEVPATH set to something like DEVPATH=/block/hda, DEVPATH=/block/hda/hda1 etc.:

default.hotplug[3415]: arguments (block) env (DEBUG=yes ACTION=add OLDPWD=/ 
HOME=/ SEQNUM=660 MAJOR=3 DEVPATH=/block/hda SUBSYSTEM=block 
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MINOR=0 PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/ide0/0.0 
PHYSDEVDRIVER=ide-disk PHYSDEVBUS=ide PWD=/etc/hotplug)

default.hotplug[3448]: arguments (block) env (DEBUG=yes ACTION=add OLDPWD=/ 
HOME=/ SEQNUM=661 MAJOR=3 DEVPATH=/block/hda/hda1 SUBSYSTEM=block 
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MINOR=1 PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/ide0/0.0 
PHYSDEVDRIVER=ide-disk PHYSDEVBUS=ide PWD=/etc/hotplug)

default.hotplug[3464]: arguments (block) env (DEBUG=yes ACTION=add OLDPWD=/ 
HOME=/ SEQNUM=662 MAJOR=3 DEVPATH=/block/hda/hda2 SUBSYSTEM=block 
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MINOR=2 PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/ide0/0.0 
PHYSDEVDRIVER=ide-disk PHYSDEVBUS=ide PWD=/etc/hotplug)

So I could use this to mount/umount my HDDs.
