Arch 2.6.36 not automatically mounting USB devices

Hi,

I am new to Arch but up to now i really like it and i am using this for my home server.
Now i use 2 external USB 1TB disks for backup which i auto mount using /etc/fstab.
The problem is that it is not auto mounting the volumes.

/etc/fstab

#External disks
UUID=dc401eb5-05f0-46ca-ba31-3d54ca66e30e /mnt/usbdisk1 ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
UUID=a3417e0a-0ec0-4106-b9df-682eb9ba92dd /mnt/usbdisk2 ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0

dmesg output just after mounting my /

scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access     WD       10EAVS External  1.75 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4

 sde: sde1
sd 5:0:0:0: [sde] Assuming drive cache: write through
sd 5:0:0:0: [sde] Attached SCSI disk

It seems to recognize the physical disks but a mount is not performed?
Did i overlook something or is there something else wrong?

Thanks!

Re: Arch 2.6.36 not automatically mounting USB devices

/etc/fstab is for FS options only, putting you device there does not guarantee automounting. This has already been discussed: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=48469
