Hi,
I am using 5.1, Until yesterday morning when we had a power cut for 9 hours [no proper UPS], the automount of USB drives worked properly.
Now when I connect any USB drive [hard drives & USB sticks], they show up in dmesg, and they are being properly recognized, but I have to mount them by hand.
Any suggestion?

I've had this happen (without the power failure part) on CentOS 4, and found it to be a problem with the HAL daemon and/or gnome-volume-manager. Did HAL start up properly when the system restarted? Do you have a gnome-volume-manager process running?
As a partly-related aside, can anyone explain why the "usermount" program has disappeared from the standard Gnome menus in CentOS 5? In 3 and 4 it appeared under System Tools -> Disk Management. I presume it's an upstream thing, but a few googlings have not found anything about the motivation for the change.
when I tried to update my centos i got this message why???

Did you try today? This can happen when updates are not synced yet (I think). I have seen this a lot in the past with rpmforge (not for a while now). It's nothing wrong with your setup.

Hi,
I saw that yum solved the problem of getting metadata of old mirrors recently: http://devel.linux.duke.edu/gitweb/?p=yum.git;a=commit;h=c3d6b04587499992a32...
Any chance to get an updated yum in CentOS-plus?
I would report this upstream, if I knew how to...
Tks! Filipe

Have you checked to see if the automount daemon is still running?
