I read the wiki page on automounting but it seems to be a different thing than what I need. Previously, in Xfce, I REALLY disliked automounting, so I would generally just insert the pendrive or whatever and it would show up, unmounted, in the filemanager's list of storage devices. When I wanted to access it I would click on it in the file managers and only then would the device be actually mounted. I find that in awesome the filemanager is oblivious to any changes to connected storage. I do not want automounting per se, I just want connected devices to show up, available to be mounted when I so wish, in filemanagers. I'm using Archlinux, awesome 3.4.11, and launching it via startx. The exact line in my .xinitrc is: "exec ck-launch-session awesome". The filemanagers I'm using are thunar and nautilus, both working as expected in xfce. My previous gentoo-powered awesome installation also had that behavior, so I'm sure it's not something xfce-specific. Any help or tips appreciated. I use udisks-glue. That's enough for automounting external disks. just execute "udisks-glue &" in a terminal... Maybe there are some missing udev or group permissions... I would like to avoid automounting since some of my frequent tasks involve partitioning and formatting external storage devices, so automounting would add another step (unmounting) to that process. I will try my hand at udisks-glue, however, since as it stands I have absolutely no access to external storage at all via the filemanager.
udisks-glue gives me access to external storage from mc, thunar, pcmanfm, nautilus... hope it works for you :)
