I thought I was done, but it is not stable. Has anyone else had issues with sysutils/automount?
I am using 17.8 package, with a large ext4 drive. It mounts and works fine, but after leaving it for hours (with lid closed/suspended), the drive was asleep with light off. When I tried to look at a file in the file manager (pcmanfm) it opened and then locked up. dmesg showed continuous failed read and write requests, with many retries. I tried 'automount -fu' (locks up) as well as umount, and even killing some suspect processes, but the requests continued until I pulled the USB plug. The drive required an fsck (which automount does automatically on plugin), and came back up fine.
I will do some more investigating. Any suggestions are welcomed.

For some reason it has not been failing anymore! I've been very careful to unmount, and every time I check with fsck the volumes seem to be unmounted correctly (and remount with no problems). Maybe I was doing something dumb.
