I have an external USB disk that I use for backups. The filesystem is ext3. When I plug in the disk, it no longer automounts under 11.2, it was fine under 11.1.
Here’s the dmesg output when I plug the external drive in.

My USB flash drive (2GB, fat32) does automatically mount when I insert it, so I think it may be related to the filesystem on the drive. Here’s the output from the thumb drive (odd how it sees it as a cdrom, must be the sandisk autorun garbage)./

A 3rd external usb hard drive, also formatted fat32 mounts automatically.
What has changed between 11.1 and 11.2 so that now the filesystem on the external drive matters?
