</div>Depending on which version of Debian you are using, there may be two paths to<br>
look into.. The 'hal' process is deprecated and distributions are going<br>
through the process of removing it. You probably want to try to find out if<br>
the version of debian you are using has done this or not (Ubuntu 11.04 has<br>
removed hal).<br>
<br>
If hal has not been removed, then it plays a big part in automounting usb<br>
devices. If it has been removed, then aparently the udev process cooperates<br>
with the volume manager to get things mounted.<br>
<br>
The whole strategy seems to be relatively undocumented, and I have a<br>
mythbuntu box that has been updated to 11.04 and is now no longer automounting<br>
usb devices. I can see (via "udevadm monitor") that udev detects the<br>
device being plugged in, but I'm still searching for the next step in the<br>
chain. I think that I need to be looking into the thunar volume manager<br>
next, but I haven't dug much into that yet. (Not a huge priority at the<br>
moment, so I may not get around to it for some time yet...)<br>
