Archlinux - Automounting USB Drives [SOLVED]

Greetings,

I'm running Arch with AwesomeWM (no DE). I created the Udev rule as described here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … if_present

I am still unable to have my device automount as a normal user. A cd /media and ls yields nothing. Suggestions? New to Arch.

lsusb output:

 Bus 001 Device 004: ID 058f:6387 Alcor Micro Corp. Transcend JetFlash Flash Drive 

Thanks!
Chris

Try using udisks and one of the helper scripts like devmon or udiskie

I've had good luck with devmon and it was easily configurated.

I did the same thing, copied the first example from the wiki and it works fine, no udisks/devmon etc., so it should be doable.

Maybe check the output of dmesg after inserting the stick, might be some error or other info.  Does it give it an id like sdb1?

Thanks guys, devmon works like a charm.
