Okay, now I understand that Xfce designed the left panel when you plug in a USB drive to automatically mount it through udev on Linux systems, such as a USB hard drive, thumb drive, etc.

On FreeBSD you have things like automount, automounter, hal, and devd that function similar, but not the same. In Xfce, it complains about the mount not working leaving you to manually mount drives.

The question I have concerns using the port automount from /ports/sysutils. Is there a way to configure automount to use devd to have these devices mounted upon hotplugging them to their appropriate /media folder, so I can use them inside Xfce and other desktops without using the manual tools, and does anyone have a configuration set they'd be willing to share on this I can use as an example?

This might help,
