<div>Hello,</div>
<div>I am also observing that USB stick working is not yet in full control as I would like to have. </div>
<div>I got two Pen drives (sticks) . One works exactly as expected but other doesn't. Recently I did some experimenting. Results are like this- </div>
<div>USB drive if it does not have a (volume) label, then manual mount command need not be given instead an icon appears on desktop (kde) after plugging in and 'open/mount/safely remove' is on right click menu. Manual mount command can be given in konsole in simplest form like # mount /dev/sdb (without label) or /dev/sdb1(with label).
</div>
<div>So I have removed volume labels though I would like to have them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If there is a better way please tell...</div>
<div>thanks</div>
