Hi Ranjan, Please give me a bit more detailed feedback - - what kind of UI you are using with F18? - uname -a - current kernel - did you know that Fedora has an /run folder that has been added? - lsusb ? If you are using LXDE witch is basicaly openbox with some graphics tools, you have to know that such lightweight systems at default has no automount - only if it's something hasn't been added. So, can you give more clearer info?
