[GTALUG] RaspberryPi won't automount USB memory stick

[Kevin Cozens]

Greetings, all.

I have an embedded system that uses a Raspberry Pi 3. I have it set up and 
running with the latest Raspbian and all is well, almost. For some reason 
the Raspbian system is not set up to automount memory sticks when they are 
inserted in to a USB port on the machine.

On another embedded system I needed to install the usbmount package to get 
the system to automount a memory stick when it is inserted. I have installed 
usbmount on the RPi but it still won't automount a USB memory stick. The 
output from dmesg reports that it is seeing the insertion of the USB memory 
device. The device is also reported under lsusb.

Why is Raspbian not set up to automount a memory stick like is done on a 
normal Linux based desktop? My desktop does it and I don't have an usbmount 
package installed. How do I configure Raspbian to automount a memory stick?
