I have various usb key type drives and a 500GB western Digital drive automount as expected. Of course it could be a Seagate problem since I see others complaining about the same thing. Interestingly though, if I reboot the machine (something I rarely do), the disk then automounts. The Seagate USB disk was cheap so I guess that means it does not have to always work. :-) Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx Spamtrap address mtd123@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
