Public bug reported:
USB removable flash/harddisk storage drives won't automatically mount. It seems
that the hald does it's work, the devices are added and all the information can
be read in the Hardware Information application. Also fdisk agrees that the
device is created as seen in the 'fdisk -l' output below.
The only time when the gnome-volume-manager does correctly mount these devices
is on it starts up.
I've attached two outputs of the gvm. The first scenario is as following:
Flash device is not connected -> gvm is started -> flash device is plugged in
-> waiting a bit -> flash device is unplugged
result: flash device was not mounted
gvm output:
