Dear folks,

I have recently successfully updated an amd 64 bit machine from 8.1 to
8.2 release and reinstalled most of the previously installed ports.
Now, I tried to use my usb disk and it is not automounting :(  I like
the convenience of automounting and I checked hal and dbus and they
are both enabled and to be safe I deinstalled and installed them again
and still does not automount.

ugen5.2: <HP> at usbus5
umass0: <HP c310w, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2> on usbus5
umass0:  SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0000
umass0:2:0:-1: Attached to scbus2
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus2 target 0 lun 0
da0: <HP c310w 1.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 3819MB (7823296 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 486C)
