Auto mount of USB sticks and hard drives?
Hello. 
I'd like ArchLinux to auto-mount USB sticks, hard drives, etc... when plugging them in. How do I manage to do this?
These are my daemons: DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus hal ntpd alsa gdm)
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Somehow, autofs does not work.
And btw, I use Thunar as file manager.

You need to have gvfs and thunar-volman installed. Make sure you are a member of the storage group. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … le_Devices

Don't fix it if it ain't broken.
Don't break it if you can't fix it.

use a helper script like udiskie or devmon or a bash script written by berbae.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

You can also use a udev rule:
