Hello,
Auto-mounting of USB flash-drives and CD-RW (as well as CD-R) was working fine with CentOS 4.0 release for all users.
This feature of auto-recognition and mounting is not working with CentOS 4.2 release for any user.
I have checked the usual possible points of problems -- fstab, fstab-sync, haldaemon, etc. -- but have found no problems.
Any suggestions on other possible work-arounds ?
Thanks,
-- Raj

It worked fine for me on 4.2, and is currently working fine on 4.3. Are there any hints in your logs as to why it doesn't work for you?
Just to be sure, I tested again with a usb dvd drive and a lexar usb thumbdrive, and they both work just fine.

I started using CentOS 4.2 so I don't know if the problem I had is the same as yours but I had difficulties with USB drives until I put 'acpi=off' as a boot option. It means that the dual core Pentium 4 is only running single core, but USBs now work properly. I cannot remember the details, but I think I saw something saying that support is better in later kernels so I have hope that I may not need to turn acpi off when CentOS 5 comes out.
Hope this helps,
Joe
