Automount USB devices Manjaro Cinnamon

DanceMan · 08-16-2015, 03:16 AM

Need to enable automounting of usb devices in Manjaro Cinnamon. It is checked enabled in the file manager, but a 3T Seagate usb drive is not seen yet. I'm trying to move my Pale Moon profile over from PM in Win, but I need this capability for much more than this.

Tried posting in the Manjaro forums first, but after the three stage authentication dumped my post twice, I gave up.

You might want to share the dmesg output when the device is attached. That should show what is going on under the hood.

Also

Code:

fdisk -l

Code:

mount

[danceman@AcerTM4230 ~]$ fdisk -1
fdisk: invalid option -- '1'

Thank you for that. Without getting to "mount" the usb drive appeared.

dmseg I don't understand yet. I ran "fdisk --list" and saw that the usb drive was listed as /dev/sdb. It's a laptop so only one hdd.

No, not '1' (one), it's lowercase 'L'

It's a means to showing kernel output eg

Code:

dmesg|tail

Code:

dmesg --follow

The following for more info

Code:

man dmesg

The idea is that you post back with the output that is reported, preferably using code tags.
