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:
I did some checking -- It's been a while since I installed Beowulf and
udisks2 -- and I discovered that you need to use a "front end" for
udisks2 for it to truly automount. I used udiskie
(https://pypi.org/project/udiskie/) which must be started manually.
Installing it doesn't automatically set it up to start. I just added a
stanza to Openbox's autostart script. Since I use lxpanel in addition
to Openbox, I added the "--smart-tray" option, so udiskie will appear in
the panel when it's in use.
The computer that was upgraded from Debian Jessie to Beowulf x86 doesn't
have any "front end" for udisks2 installed unless it was installed
automagically. This computer automounts USB devices in /media as one of
usb0-7. The one I am having trouble with is a new install of Beowulf AMD64.

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:
It does. You shouldn't have to manually start it. To see if udisks2 is
running and working, inset a usb thumb drive, and in a terminal enter
"udisksctl status". The thumb drive should show in the list of other
mounted devices.
udisksctl does see the thumb drive. The udisksd daemon is running but
it doesn't mount the thumb drive anywhere I can find. It does show up
in /dev as sdb.

If that library file was needed it should have been loaded by the
installer. I don't know what to do from here.
Do you have a RAID set up? If not, disregard the warnings.
I do not have a raid setup.
I use openbox and xterms if that info. is needed.
Me, too, with a single lxpanel with menus. I do not have any desktop
environments, in whole or part, installed. Neither a display manager. I
boot to and login in a terminal and, then, run startx.
