I had this happen once quite some time ago now.What I found was that a library file went missing. Try this...ldd /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitorSee if it tells you that a file is missing and if so then just install the required package. Outside of that installing devmon from AUR could solve the problem. Clive-- Infinity: A concept for those who cannot comprehend the big picture. () Arch Linux - For movers and shakers. ()
