[arch-general] Xfce, Thunar and USB stick
Hi, I'm using Xfce and Thunar. My USB stick is mounted without write access. I've set the hints for PolicyKit (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PolicyKit), https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thunar#Thunar_Volume_Manager, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thunar#udev_Automounting, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev#Mount_under_.2Fmedia.3B_use_partit...

none of them have a connection with your problem. i guess the usb filesystem is ntfs and you forgot to install ntfs-3g -- Ionuț
Make sure u have thunar volman installed and also check at your .xinitrc same as instructed here http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=289 Our wiki should be updated with this trick. On Aug 9, 2011 11:23 AM, "Ionut Biru" <ibiru@archlinux.org> wrote:

not related, he does say that is automatically mounted. Not to mention that volman is going to be removed soon -- Ionuț

since Ionut said what reported above, I checked .xinitrc. I've installed thunar-volman. I don't know why, but it seems that the problem was the following command in .xinitrc: 'thunar --daemon &'. Now I can write to my USB stick (vfat filesystem) without root permission.
