When I connect usb drive it doesnt automount, it only shows in dmesg that /dev/sda is connected, but nothing happens. Is anything needed to be installed?
I used genkernel. |

I installed hal, dbus. I started /etc/init.d/hald. Then I installed thunar with thunar-volman. Nothing helped.
Thunar volman after connecting usb shows this:
| Code: | gento-rc-desktop r-c # thunar
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unknown block device type.
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unknown block device type. |
dmesg:
| Code: | scsi 12:0:0:0: Direct-Access Nokia N900 031 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

On those disks are filesystems; ntfs, ext3, ext4, fat.
This shows me when I try to mount manually ext4 partition:
| Code: | gento-rc-desktop r-c # mount /dev/sdb1 /media/multimedia
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' |
NTFS partition I can manually mount but only in read mode.
Despite those partition is mounted, it doesnt shows in thunar or pcmanfm. |

| hal stopped being useful for xfce since 4.8 went stable a few months ago. |

Both ivman and gnome-volume-manager has been dropped - gnome-volume-manager due to being obsoleted by another Gnome component.
The sticky "Tips, and tricks for ConsoleKit/PolicyKit/udev, without hal" is the one you should read. |

| I don't know if this info will help you, but for me auto-mounting in xfce didn't work without CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y in the kernel config. It was a problem with consolekit/policykit. |
