Hi Paul,

In a recently installed ToriOS system, I tested with a USB pendrive with 
an MSDOS partition table and three partition made with gparted:

All three partitions were automounted rw both when the pendrive was 
plugged in at boot and when it was plugged in when ToriOS was running.

See the attached file.

Maybe it is an issue with flags. Run

sudo parted -ls

to print the flags (I may have other flags.)

Or maybe we are running different versions of ToriOS. Please tell me 
exactly which ToriOS version you have installed, and how it was or was 
not updated & upgraded.

Best regards
Nio
