My original thought - then someone send me a link to the Mint desktop manager with the same name as the typo... I'm away from the box where I set-up a set environment, and the desk with my notes (this email client is being remotely accessed). I'll be back there later today. Note I put an NTFS file system on a USBKey with the same label as your setup, created a /media directory as you have - and was able to achieve what you wanted. I do want to provide you with a better way of reaching your desired outcome - without you (and userland processes) having raw disk access. Hopefully I'll get a chance to reply further later today. > > I've been googling and posting with the term "auto-mount", but is this > more properly "hotplug"?
