no auto mounting for usb memory drive in 10.1 OE

[crazyspongebob]

I used mdk 10.0 official and 10.1 CE. Both do a good job at automagically mounting my usb flash memory drive like window$ does. However, two days ago, I switched my box to mdk 10.1 official with a clean install. Now, the auto mounting is no longer working. I have to use harddrake to mount it. I also have to use expert mode and use options to mount for the relgular users to write to it, unlike to 10.0 and 10.1 CE. How can such a difference be between version? Do I have to enable anything like hotplug or harddrake for it this to work? I remember to turn of those two services and the automount still work in 10.0 and 10.1 CE.

hotplug should definitely be on. the harddrake *service* doesn't need to be on, though.

I'll try to enable hotplug to see if my QuickiDrive be mounted automagically for any user on the box.

I have tried it, but it does not work. Actually it worked for one reboot. Afterward, mdk 10.1 detects the drive as sda but does not mount it. It's a bit frustrating.

open a konsole before connecting the drive, then login as root

su

[ + root password ]

then monitor the system logs with:

tail -f /var/log/messages

(you can stop the monitoring by hitting ctrl-c)

then connect the device. Post any output here, if necessary including /etc/fstab
