I've tried it, and what you suggested in your out-of-thread forwarded
email worked fine (UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL was set for the Tails boot
medium). However, it is not effective in practice as Squeeze's udisks
does not support this property yet.

So, I guess this specific protection will have to wait until Tails is
based on Wheezy, unless someone can think of a way to implement
per-device udisks-level write access protection with udisks
1.0.1+git20100614-3.

One more reason to work on porting to Wheezy!

Cheers,
