[aklug] Re: Confused -- manually mounting usb in Debian

Richard, I had bought the 3 pack of 2gb cruzer drives at Costco and
un-u3smarted them and have been using them all summer to carry ebooks
with me. Mainly using them under Ubuntu (Hardy) and occasionally (like
yesterday when I was asked to confirm that the u3 software doesn't
auto-reinstall when plugged in) in Windows (Xp & Vista). I formatted
them as vfat and I can't remember if I used windows (after un-smarting
them) or linux to format them.

Output from my syslog after inserting one of them:

Oct 20 11:25:32 buddha hald: mounted /dev/sdd1 on behalf of uid 1000

Output from 'mount':

/dev/sdd1 on /media/CISCOBOOKS2 type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)

I tried the flash drives in two other headless Debian servers and
neither auto-mounted and I don't think they ever did but they did detect
them and attach them to the next scsi /dev/sd? device.

Hopefully comparing output can help you figure out why they're not
auto-mounting at least under Debian, did they auto-mount prior under
Debian? I wonder if the Debian desktop has an auto-mount package
installed that the non-x server doesn't
