Hi all,
Is there any good how-to's for getting a usb memory stick to auto mount when it is connected to the usb port? Or is this to happen automatically? I got a 2G memory stick for Christmas so that I can transfer files from machine to machine (home/work) but it doesn't look like it mounts automatically like the cdrom does. Thnx for your input.

Looking at this page it states that it should but I'm not seeing it, now I'm wondering what I did/am doing wrong.

It usually works for me exactly as stated in the link you sent. I insert a USB drive device, it creates the /media/DEVICE_TYPE directory (and the appropriate fstab entry), and it's up to me or the file manager to actually run the mount command (mount /media/DEVICE_TYPE) to make it accessible in the directory.

Nope. Not here. Nothing is added to fstab. I can manually mount it but I would think that this should happen automaticly.

Try tailing /var/log/messages while inserting the device. It might yield information as to why it's not working. It generally states which device has been assigned as the USB device /dev/sdX and other various hotplug messages.
