Hi,
I used to have this problem sometimes in Slackware where auto mount doesn't
come all pretty like on SUSE, so I just set up an Fstab entry to take care of
it.
right now I have SUSE 10.2 and KDE and Gnome would see my USB HD as soon as I
plugged it in, but in Window Maker or Enlightenment, I wouldn't have the
option and it didn't show up in mount anymore.
What I ended up doing to fix it so it worked in every window manager and
without X running was just booting and using KDE, checking Mount to see how
it was mounted, and just adding that to /etc/fstab and then using
mount /dev/sda1 to mount it for use.
Hope it helps,
-Allen
