if running as root, i think the gui pops up the device being
inserted plugged in
if running as user, you might need to add extra options in /etc/fstab
and in autofs files ( /etc/auto.master -> /etc/auto.removable )
since i had the pesky popups when a cd is inserted ... just just kill
it vs figuring out where it all came from
- discover vs anaconda vs other hw insert/detect apps
- the gui apps
- the kernel needs plug-n-play turned on too
( i turn it off in my configs )
