Problems with USB devices

Hello everyone,
yesterday I finally managed to install Arch and today I wanted to finish the installation. Some people told me that the USB devices (usb sticks) will be mounted automatically when I edit the Removable Drives and Media setting in Thunar. When I plugin my usb-stick nothing happens. After reading the wiki I was sure, that the stick was actually connected and accepted (Bus 008 Device 002: ID 090c:1000 Silicon Motion, Inc. - Taiwan (formerly Feiya Technology Corp.) 64MB QDI U2 DISK). May someone tell me please what I need to do that the stick will be actually shown?

Kind regards

Re: Problems with USB devices

I had to do the same thing, yesterday. I do not know the proper solution to have it automatically mounted, but here is how I at least got it going.

As root:
Find the UUID of your device: blkid
Create a mount point: mkdir /media/usbstick (or, whatever you want to call it)
Mount the device: mount -U <the UUID> /media/usbstick

In general, using the wiki is preferable to relying on "some people".
