Hi, I set up my system to do backups including auto-mounting of my external USB hard drive. I followed these instructions https://workaround.org/rsnapshot-and-usb-drives/ everything worked fine until I unplugged my external hard drive. Now it will no longer auto-mount. My auto.usbdrive file has: usbdrive -fstype=auto UUID=234390d3-1b4c-4b03-8476-XXXXXXXXXXXX My auto.master file has: /var/autofs/removable /etc/auto.usbdrive –timeout=2,sync,nodev,nosuid When I look at /var/log/messages I get: Apr 20 19:24:38 bbox automount[8038]: � Apr 20 19:24:38 bbox automount[8038]: � Apr 20 19:24:38 bbox automount[8038]: � Now remember this did work. I can mount this drive manually but that does not suit my purposes. Can you add some insight or suggestions. ======= Bruce
