X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 05:05:26 -0000 Thunar (xfce 4.4) along with hal has no problem automounting an SD card... unless that card is write-protected. There's a delay while the system tries and thinks it fails to mount the card--twice. Eject the card and the system reboots as if it was mounted. Try a clean shutdown and the system eventually gives up with one buffer remaining. Is it Thunar trying to write something to the card, or hal, or something else? -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
