i cannot seem to mount this drive automatically
i have Thunar-volman port isntalled
when the "browse when disk is inserterd " is ticked i get splashed with
every mount point except the one i want
/var /tmp / /usr + my local drives that are partitioned on the hard
disk.
but not the external usb drive.
any help will be appreciated
i am trying not to install GNOME where possible as i know that GNOME
mounts volumes differently.
many thanks in advance
