I agree, it is a pclos thing. They use udisks2. Which is notorious for 
automount problems. I can't uninstall it because trinity is dependant on it.
I know how to edit the fstab, but would rather not. It's also not going to 
help because it's rarely the same drive twice. This becomes a problem 
when/because I'm working on client drive data recovery.

I appreciate the help though,

Thank you Jimmy
