  Dear arch users,

I managed to mount my usb stick automatically via udev rules (hal isn't 
running). However, if I unplug the stick while thunar is open, the 
umount command hangs. After that I can't even reboot. But if I close 
thunar before unplugging the stick umount works fine.
Here is my udev rule:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", 
SYMLINK+="unistick%n"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", 
ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo -u benjamin /bin/mount /media/unistick"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", 
ACTION=="remove", RUN+="umount /media/unistick"

And here is the corresponding line of fstab:

/dev/unistick1          /media/unistick vfat rw,noauto,user,utf8,noatime 
   0      0

Thanks for any help,
Benjamin
