Problem with automount storage devices

Bii_Bii · 2024-09-03 21:06:24

Hello,

I'm using arch with KDE enivornment.
I have a probem with automount storage devices - pendrive, disks USB.

I'm reading and install package udisks2 - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Udisks , but still I have, a problem.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't have any ideas.

I noticed, after reboot pc, all pendrive (storage devices) mount correct.
Afrer a few days problem returns.
And repeat --->reboot--->few days (works well) and again arch don't mount any devices.

Maybe this will be a clue, but lsblk in terminal also doesn't see devices (all pendrive and external disks are operational).

Any sugesstions?
I saw many topics with simillar problems, but this is "Newbie Corner" and I think - you will forgive me

Thanks for any replies.

Whenever there's a kernel update you need to reboot as the running kernel can't load modules anymore (they don't exist after an update). You can install and setup the service for https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/an … ules-hook/ if you want to mitigate that.

Thanks for sugesstion, i'm installed this package.
I'm slowly getting frustrated.

After reboot - I connected 2 pendrives and 1 disks (USB) - dolphin saw everything.
I wanted connect second disk (USB) and repeat - lsblk don't see disk, dolphin also.

Reboot, connect 2 disk (USB) and Dolphin see disk, mounted it and lsblk also shows name, size, type and mountpoint new disk (2 disk).

Ech... still it doesn't work well.

It may be possible that system does not device driver installed on it, so make sure you have this. If you do not have device driver for usb then go to the website of your laptop company and download the driver according to the model you are using.If you need assistance to detect device driver on your device then check out this link

No, this is no problem with drivers, all ports are available.
This is problem with mount storage devices - i'm sure.

On other systems (Linux distro/Windows) this problem doesn't exist, only arch/my arch have this problem

check dmesg when you have the issue... if lsblk doesn't see the device you don't get assigned a device node which will be some low level issue. When the problem happens what output do you get from

uname -a
pacman -Q linux

If it's not a kernel mismatch and the problem is w/ udisks2 mounts, but eg. "sudo makemeasand…" errr… "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" still works as expected:

hostnamectl
