[SOLVED] USB memory won't automount

Hi,
I'm on a fresh (latest 2013/2) ARch/LXDE installation.
Although PCManFM is configured to au tomount removable media, it isn't working (contrary to Wiki's declaration).
As can be seen from the terminal below, when inserted, the system recognaizes the device, although mtab don't reflect the change.

Please advise!
Thanks

$  systemctl | grep sdb

sys-devi...block-sdb.device  loaded active plugged  Trans-It_Drive
...

$cat /etc/mtab | grep sdb
$

Last time i played with PcmanFM, it required udisks to automount stuff and gvfs to handle trash. Look if it's still the case.

Thanks,
Indeed installing udisks and gvfs solved it (after reboot).
