It seems that for Xfce you want the Thunar Volume Manager plugin |
26 |
(xfce-extra/thunar-volman): |

Otherwise, I know of three modern (i.e. udev or udisks based) desktop |
30 |
independent ways for auto-mounting: |
31 |
- uam |
32 |
A udev based auto-mounter. It doesn't mount CD/DVD/etc. drives (because, well, |
33 |
it's udev-based), but otherwise worked flawlessly on my machine. |
34 |
- udiskie |
35 |
A udisks based auto-mounter, doesn't work properly for me, i.e. one of |
36 |
my USB sticks wouldn't mount, apparently because udisks flagged it as |
37 |
non-automountable. |
38 |
- udisks-glue |
39 |
A udisks based tool that can execute arbitrary commands on udisks events, e.g. |
40 |
auto-mount disks. |
41 |
|
42 |
(My personal preference is currently udisks-glue.) |
