I may have asked about this before, but I can't find any records of so
doing in my saved mail (which includes almost everything I ever read
or write):
All of a sudden, I am not getting flash drives automatically mounted
in CentOS 5.3 with GNOME - they are recognized by the hardware, but
there seems to be a (new?) problem with the maps. Here's the tail end
of dmesg:

These two particular mount attempts/expectations are with a flash
drive that I've been using for months without any trouble at all, and
I _can_ mount it manually with 'mount.' (However, I cannot mount it,
or the other flash drives that also have worked flawlessly for months,
with gnome-mount, which used to work as long as the device was
visible. I can look at the partition tables on all three drives with
fdisk -l, but no automount to /media/<whatever>.)
How do I fix this?
Thanks
