Anytime I want to add photos off the SD card in my camera, I comment out the

add the SD card to the reader, and reboot the computer.

Why reboot, you can just use 'mount -a'?

By the way, 'auto' and 'rw' are default, no need to set them explicitly.

I've seen a number of folks posting about manual mounting with and without use of a file manager with something like gvfs-backends, problems with entries in /etc/fstab, etc.

Apropos of no particular knowledge on my part, but of a desire to ask a question that might be a useful -- would pmount be of use to at least some people with problems of this sort?

I don't have any of my removable drives / storage devices in /etc/fstab (or I comment them out). I just plug them in and use pmount to mount them.

$ ls -l /dev/disks/by-label

to see them

$ pmount /dev/sd<whatever> /media/<whatever>

to mount them.

HTH someone.
