USB3 Hard Drive not auto-mounting

Can anyone help me? I have a USB3 external hard drive that, when I plug in, does not automount into thunar.

I have installed devmon, and when I run dmesg after plugging it in I have this:

[ 4749.967121] usb 2-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd
[ 4749.980563] usb 2-1: Parent hub missing LPM exit latency info.  Power management will be impacted.
[ 4749.984042] scsi9 : usb-storage 2-1:1.0

Bit of a noob to device management like this so if anyone can suggest a way to get this device automounting I would really appreciate it.

FYI: Existing USB2 devices automount fine.

Oh, and it's not showing in gparted.

Re: USB3 Hard Drive not auto-mounting

What filesystem does the drive have? I made the same experience just recently, and it turned out that the drive was formatted with exFAT. Maybe that's the reason? I wasn't able to reformat the drive to see if it works for other filesystems, because the drive isn't mine.

Re: USB3 Hard Drive not auto-mounting

It's ntfs and I can mount other ntfs devices.

Just tested, and if I have it plugged in when the computer boots up it shows up! But then if I unplug and plug it back in again it doesn't show up.

Anyone else have any ideas?
