I'm on openSUSE 13.1. I have a 3TB Western Digital My Book external hard disk and it does not get automatically mounted, nor recognzed at all by the device notifier. When I plug it in, /var/log/messages gives the attached output, which indicates that the kernel recognizes the disk but systemd-udevd worker hits a timeout and gets killed. I found references online to such a timeout with other devices but could not find a solution to my problem. I am, however, able to mount the My Book manually as root: # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/1 The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing. An online search suggests these messages are because the hard disk is NTFS formatted. AFAICT the disk is successfully mounted and readable; I haven't yet tried writing to it. Does anyone know if and how I can get this external hard disk to mount automatically and not just as root? Steve Berman
