For what it=E2=80=99s worth, automounting works just fine for me. When usi= ng Nautilus USB drives are automatically detected and can be mounted (and unmounted) with a single click. Even without Nautilus you can mount and unmount drives without the need for root privileges, e.g. with udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb2 udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb2 I=E2=80=99m curious: What do these tools offer compared to udiskctl or the = magic of Nautilus? -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
