Bug Description
The fix released for bug #1210898 did not fix the issue for me.
I have checked "Enable volume management" in Thunar's preferences. Under "Removable Storage" in the "Removable Drives and Media" window the following are checked:
* Mount removable drives when hot-plugged
* Mount removable media when inserted
* Browse removable media when inserted
The auto-mounting only works when a Thunar window is open. The same behaviour is experienced for SD cards using the laptop's built in card reader, and USB storage devices.

I have "Mount removable drives when hot-plugged" option enabled.
However, thunar-volman fails to mount any removable media.
I've made the following script as a workaround for the issue:
cat /usr/local/ bin/thunar- volman thunar- volman $@ >/tmp/thunar- volman. log 2>&1
#!/bin/sh
sleep 1
exec /usr/bin/
Mount succeeds if thunar-volman is started after a small delay. volman. log looks as follows: volman. log
If I comment "#sleep 1", mount fails and the output of /tmp/thunar-
cat /tmp/thunar-
thunar-volman: Could not detect the volume corresponding to the device.
/usr/bin/ thunar- volman --version
