Well done. I assumed it was a lower level than that, as usbmount wasn't DE-specific. I'm running Xfce, hence the Thunar file manager, which I don't use, and apparently thunar-volman which does automounting. It doesn't show up in an apt-cache search for automount. > > Of course the DE doesn't do the mount directly, but relies on > pmount or something similar.

If I do plug it in, apart from formatting, why would I not want it mounted? I don't want any applications or media to autorun, but I do want the filesystems mounted. -- Joe
