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?

I'm using XFCE, and that doesn't auto mount, but it does put an icon on
the screen so I can choose to mount, or put the device in /etc/fstab, in
which case it will get mounted. All USB devices should be mounted in
fstab by UUID, use blkid to find out what it is. Mounting by device name
may give you a "learning experience" if you plug something else in!

In XFCE, "Settings->Removable Drives and Media" allows you to specify
if you want stuff mounted or not. By default, no it doesn't mount, but
you can have it mount if you wish. I prefer no automount because I don't
necessarily like the file manager popping up when I insert a USB stick
or a CD/DVD but that's just me.
