I've seen a number of folks posting about manual mounting with and without use of a file manager with something like gvfs-backends, problems with entries in /etc/fstab, etc.
Apropos of no particular knowledge on my part, but of a desire to ask a question that might be a useful -- would pmount be of use to at least some people with problems of this sort?
I don't have any of my removable drives / storage devices in /etc/fstab (or I comment them out). I just plug them in and use pmount to mount them.
$ ls -l /dev/disks/by-label to see them $ pmount /dev/sd<whatever> /media/<whatever> to mount them. HTH someone. Jape
