[solved] Thunar: no automount for removable hard drives

USB flash drives are automatically mounted by thunar-volman. However, removable USB hard drives are not.

These are the settings of thunar-volman: http://i.imgur.com/24mHHSs.png

In order to mount removable USB hard drives, I have to manually click on the drive in the side pane.

Can someone reproduce that behaviour that automount only works with flash drives but not with removable hard drives?

Installed packages:

~ $ pacman -Q | grep thunar
thunar 1.6.3-1
thunar-volman 0.8.0-1

Depends on the removable hard drive filesystem. It's possible the flash card is NTFS/FAT32 which mounts fine, while you don't have permission to mount an ext4 external hard drive.

Re: [solved] Thunar: no automount for removable hard drives

The removable hard drive is a 1TB external USB drive with an ext4 filesystem. It has nothing to do with permission issues but seem to be a general problem of thunar-volman refusing to mount larger drives. It is also stated here.

I could enable automounting of this drive by running devmon from the udevil package.
