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? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

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.
