    Secondary hard drive won't auto-mount

    Kubuntu recently decided to quit mounting my second hard drive. I'm not sure what caused this, but I think it came with an update. When I run kcmshell4 device_automounter_kcm, the box for "Automount on Login" is checked for the drive. When I run sudo fdisk -l, the drive is listed, but underneath it in red it says

    Code:
    Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.
    I found that if I manually create a mount point, I can get it to mount with the "mount" command, and everything seems to work fine. I wonder if I found a bug in KDE, and, if so, which part.

    Is this drive included in /etc/fstab?

      Automount with the KDE Removeable Devices (Kubuntu 15.04)

      Long: http://askubuntu.com/questions/61331...devices-option

      Short:

      The Kubuntu 15.04 is using KDE System Settings that can show KDE Control Modules (kcm) for the KF5/Plasma5. The removeable devices kcm is from the KDE4. With the KF5 - http://commit-digest.org/issues/2014...33bdd71a7b743/ :

      Remove solid-device-automounter

      This should be ported to systemd so any automount happens within
      systemd user session startup and we do not depend on kded being started.

      Also, The current code is not working well, it keeps mounting things
      after you remove the item from the list, it mounts things twice making
      it bad for encrypted disks (you get the dialog twice), the model gets
      ****ed up etc.

      So, for the time being lets just remove it, and restore it the moment
      we have a maintainer and somebody to make this rock.
      Meanwhile - with the kded4/kcmshell4:

      1) Change the /usr/share/kde4/services/kded/device_automounter.desktop line X-KDE-Kded-phase=1 to X-KDE-Kded-phase=0

      2) Start 'Removable Device Automounter' from the Service Manager. Command: kcmshell4 kcmkded.

      3) Pick the right options from the KDE 'Removable Devices module'. Command: kcmshell4 device_automounter_kcm


      Partition does not start on physical sector boundary?
