i'm running fedora 11 and having trouble getting a usb hard drive to mount automatically when i attach it. i have two usb hard drives, both attached though a usb hub. when i plug them in and turn them on, one of the drives gets mounted to media/label_of_the_drive and gets an icon on the desktop and in computer:/// right next to my filesystem, while the other one gets nothing.
i can mount it fine manually, but it would be nice to have it happen automatically. how can i configure what drives get mounted automatically and where to? it would be nice to have it mounted in /mnt with my other mounts instead of /media.
i'm new to this and have done some searching here and on google, but so far nothing.
thanks in advance!
edit:
also, i ran tail -f /var/log/messages right after plugging in the drives, and it spat out this:

i can see it detecting and mounting the drive on the bottom, but why isn't it doing it for the other?
