Under >what circumstance does it not show up for you? If your USB stick is plugged in before you boot your system, where does it show up? Nowhere. The device node is created (/dev/sd...) but it is not mounted. (Yes, I believe an entry in /etc/fstab will help in some cirsumstances.) Root can mount the device, but behavior then varies. Mount over /x is "normal" but mount over /home/<desktop user>/x causes the Gnome desktop to pop up a menu that offers: "Open with files" or "Eject". Eject will only work after authentication (quite proper - the device was mounted by root) whereas automatic mount over /run/media/<desktop user>/<label> allows the user to Eject without authentication. None of this is intrinsically terrible, but there is a surfeit of different behaviors that will likely confuse many users at one time or another. This feels like a consensus issue: with no agreed strategy about what should happen, programmers wrote whatever seemed appropriate for the case they were coding. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
