HAL will wait 60 seconds before it times out the volume probe helper. 
If it takes longer for the probe to determine the file system, then the 
detection will fail.  You can increase this in hald/freebsd/hf-volume.c 
by increasing the PROBE_VOLUME_TIMEOUT multiplier.  The 
HAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT is 10 seconds.
