Here's a copy of the rely I got. Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------------------- From: Samuli Suominen <ssuomi...@gentoo.org> Date: Tue, Oct 8, 2013 at 9:21 PM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] re: automounting removable drives To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org xfce-base/thunar needs to have USE="udev" enabled and xfce-extra/thunar-volman must be installed i don't see thunar-volman in your list there futhermore authorization from polkit/consolekit must be working, so you must see 'active = TRUE' line when you run `ck-list-sessions` in your Xfce's Terminal as a normal user, see this thread (first post of it): http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858965-start-0.html and like said, xfce4-mount-plugin is irrelevant, and `mount` command shouldn't be used at all for udisks maintained removable devices, instead `udisksctl mount` should be used as a normal user if you really want to mount from commandline
