Hey everybody this is my first post in a while due to me being scared to death of getting my head ripped off for not doing my own research. ;-)
It seems like I have looked everywhere but posts are referring to .xinitrc, ck-launch-session and others that from what I have read are referring to pre-systemd. I'm running xfce and can mount all my drives fine with sudo and while booting in with root but when using a normal user account I get a "Failed to mount/Not Authorized" error when trying to access any other hard drives in Thunar. If anybody knows a thread in the wiki they could point me to in order to resolve this I would be very appreciative. I'm relatively new to Linux but don't wan't anybody to do my homework for me. Thanks in advance.

First I would suggest revieiwing your FSTAB file to ensure you have it set up properly.

Sometimes finding the right search terms...
Try Google, using this without the quotes: "site:archlinux.org thunar user mount fails"

Thank you guys so much! I can't believe I didn't look closer at FSTAB. Thank you thisoldman for bringing it to my attention that I can search google like that, I had no idea. This community is amazing!

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).
