The think is (AFAIK), that you need not to touch fstab and let |
11 |
udev/HAL/gnome-volume-manager to handle everything automagically. I |
12 |
know a lot of people doesn't like the idea of automounting (myself, a |
13 |
veteran Linux user, rejected the idea initially); but it really "just |
14 |
works". When you insert a USB drive/CD-ROM, |
15 |
udev/HAL/gnome-volume-manager would just mount all the mountable |
16 |
partition/drives, and you just unmount them manually before remove |
17 |
them. |

Are you running gnome-volume-manager? |
