I've never had to do anything at all to make this work,...
I insert the USB device, wait a few seconds, and voila!

are you trying this because you can't get it to work the "normal"
way,
or is this simply an educational experience?

Its not mounting on its own as it did in 6.8.

If I click on it in gnome, it mounts but REAR won't backup to it.

If i manually mount it from a terminal, I have read/write access.

Haven't been able to get a backup since I upgraded back in mid-January.
