Hello,

I have a new Beowulf AMD64 install and am having trouble mounting
USB storage devices.

The USB keyboard and mouse work ok.  lsusb shows the storage device
is present.  The usbmount program is apparently no longer available
and I haven't been able to find what took its place.  I have
another computer that had Debian Jessie installed then was
upgraded to Beowulf x86.  It has usbmount and will automatically
mount USB storage devices.

What do I need to install?

I use udisks2 to automount external USB devices.

Hi,
I found udisks2 installed on the computer that automatically mounts
USB devices but there is no man page so I would not know how to use
it if installed on the other computer.

Not much to using it: apt-get install udisks2 and everything gets set
up. I used the defaults. Devices are mounted under /media/"your
username". If you run a panel, the udisks2 gadget shows up there with
additional options. Manual unmounting is necessary, but I use only a
window manager (Openbox) and lxpanel for my GUI, so your mileage may
vary if you use a desktop environment.

Others have shown you how to access the mans.  So, I won't repeat that.

Hello,
I still need some help with this.
I installed udisks2. The last line of the installation dialog showed what I believe is a warning, maybe of no consequence:

W: http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libb/libblockdev/libblockdev-crypto2_2.20-7+deb10u1_amd64.deb: Automatically disabled Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth due to incorrect response from server/proxy. (man 5 apt.conf)

The udisksd man page says the daemon is started by dbus-daemon or systemd. However, it is not started by inserting a USB device. I tried starting it manually (with USB device inserted) and received this:

root@aragog:/home/fred# /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd &
[1] 523
root@aragog:/home/fred# udisks-Message: 07:27:15.642: udisks daemon version 2.8.1 starting

** (udisksd:523): WARNING **: 07:27:15.773: failed to load module mdraid: libbd_mdraid.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sh: 1: dmidecode: not found

(udisksd:523): udisks-WARNING **: 07:27:15.776: Failed to load the 'mdraid' libblockdev plugin udisks-Message: 07:27:16.017: Acquired the name org.freedesktop.UDisks2 on the system message bus

If that library file was needed it should have been loaded by the installer. I don't know what to do from here.

I use openbox and xterms if that info. is needed.

Best regards,
Fred
