Hello,
I have newest GhostBSD Version (uname -U says 1201512) and now my UFS2 formatted USB drive does not automount anymore.
I checked for the necessary entries at:
/etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/devfs.rules
/etc/auto_master
/etc/devd.conf
Entries are all set.
also I did:
Code: Select all
# service automount start
# service automountd start
# service autounmountd start
# service devd start
It still does not automount my usb drive.
A mount as NORMAL user in terminal woks with this:
EDIT: I also looked at the dconf-Editor for the settings. They are all set to automount.

EDIT II:
mounting of another drive with FAT32 does not work, too. I even booted up the newest 20.03 live image and there I can also only mount via terminal.
EDIT III: when mounting FAT32 via terminal and trying to copy files about 89 MBytes with Caja, it hangs at 84,3 MB. Also FAT32 automount worked in past.

Hi Vermilion,
I am not a specialist in *BSD, but I note that having activated the autologin of lightdm at boot, as I did, makes the automount of USB impossible. As soon as I cancel the autologin, no more issue for the automount of USB...

Thank you but I have no autologin (never use it).
I hope that updates will fix it.

Please look at
https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/How ... 2F_unmount
It is not automount but helps to mount windows filesystems.

I wonder what happened because default installation mounting work for me.

Hello Eric,
hope you enjoyed Easter.
I noticed that also Atril and ePDFViewer worked after installed GhostBSD 20.03 fresh from USB drive, but after I installed some programs (did NO updates) the pdf viewers again crashed. So there must be error in one or more of the dependencies.
UPDATE: I made updates yesterday and just now plugged in USB-drive... automount is back!
Thank you eric!
