Don:
Ubuntu does not need or use autofs, so there are other solutions.
What is the exact message? What is recorded in the system log (usually
"/var/log/messages". It should at least say what the device name is, say
"/dev/sda1".
To mount the usb pen or thumb drive manually:
First create a subdirectory off "/mnt" or "/media", for example: /mnt/flash
# mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
(note: # means as root user)
if the above works, umount the drive
# umount /mnt/flash
Then you could just add following to "/etc/fstab":
/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash auto noauto,user 0 0
Note: Ubuntu enables the user to control whether the usb drive is auto
mounted via Gnome's "gnome-volume-properties" (System - Preferences -
Removable Drives and Media).
