I am running Fedora 4 on one desktop (Dell dimension 1100) at work and Red Hat EL 3 or Red Hat EL5 on several other, different machines.
When I insert a USB key in the Fedora machine, it automatically mounts by itself. I have a Fedora 4 machine at home (Dell GXpro), and it does the same. The icon pops up on the Gnome desktop. My /etc/fstab file includes this line, which allows nonroot users to mount: /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto rw,users 0 0 However, almost all the Red Hat machines will fail to mount the key automatically; they require the user to issue a mount command. One or two out of about 15 running Red Hat EL 5 (never EL 3) will mount automatically. I can not figure out why the Red Hat OS doesn't mount these keys. I tried rearranging lines in fstab, and it seems not to help. Does anyone know how to get Red Hat to mount a USB key automatically? None of the machines are running automounter services.
