Linux Mint 18 Sarah does not automount devices
Hello,
The new Mint Cinnamon 18 Sarah does not automount my USB devices as well as the other partition of my HDD which is known in WiIndows as D:\ I went back to Rosa. I shall experiment on a bootable USB if you can help me. Strange! gparted from the Linux Mint 18 Sarah USB reports the unmountable devices (2 TB) as ZFS, while Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa sees them as NTFS (they have been formatted as such). Perhaps this is a bug... I also noticed that my disks which are not automounted are labelled as geek1. This label appeared on the USB flash drive made bootable by Unetbootin. In Mint 1`7, gparted correctly assigns the file system and the label. |
What does Gparted report as filesystem?

Still no solution?
I hope the developers read this. It this matters, the devices are Transcend StoreJet 2 TB. |
No answers, but some questions whose answers may help move this along:
What is the output of fdisk -l as regards that partition? Is the partition in /etc/fstab, as it is not a removable device? Is ntfs-3g installed? |

They have a bug tracker - if you feel you have a legitimate problem, search there and if not already reported, open a bug against Mint. They'll decide if: a) it's legitimate, and b) it needs to go upstream. FWIW I just did an upgrade (using the tool) to Mint 18 and to test this for you, I plugged in a USB hard-drive with VFAT, EXT3 and NTFS partitions. All mounted automatically. |
frankbell, here is the output of fdisk -l:

Disregard the previous post - it was hurriedly made from Mint 17.3.

Sounds like you should open a bug.
Try this, and post the files monitor.txt and dmesg.txt. From Mint 18, open a terminal and enter this - you'll need to enter your password for sudo (it'll seem to be hung, don't worry) Code:
sudo udevadm monitor > monitor.txt Code:
dmesg | tail -n 25 > dmesg.txt |

Code:
mkdir /mnt/sda2 <---You can name the mountpoint anything you wish. I've just gotten into the habit of using the partition designation for the mount point. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-f...-update-fstab/\ Note that ntfs-3g must be installed for Linux to read NTFS partitions. I think Mint includes it by default, but I'm not certain. Also, you should probably read this: http://www.howtogeek.com/236807/how-...rive-on-linux/ Just a hint: Please you "code" tags to set off terminal output; it makes the terminal output much easier to read. Code tags become available when you click the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom of the "compose post" window. |
I have found a solution.
I have formatted the external USB devices under Windows as NTFS and then under Linux with gparted in NTFS. |
