I had this happen once quite some time ago now.What I found was that a
library file went missing.
Try this...ldd /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitorSee if it tells
you that a file is missing and if so then just install the required
package.
Outside of that installing devmon from AUR could solve the problem.
