external drives refuse to mount
external drives refuse to mount
I'm running stretch with opnbox . external drives (SD cards, thumb drives, external hard drives) refuse to mount suddenly saying (Failed to mount " Volume" Not authorized to perform operation). everything was working fine. Any help would be very nice

Re: external drives refuse to mount
Do you think it would help somone to help you, if you give some details about how you are trying to mount them ? I can not guess why the devices don't
mount based on what you have said.
Example, this is how I mount a device, and it works:
Of course , in your case you would be showing how you try to mount the device, but it does not work.
Might help.

Re: external drives refuse to mount
That is my point, without knowing anything about how the OP is trying to mount
the devices, everything else is just guessing.
I use openbox myself, but I mount devices manually, if a file manager is involved, we need to know which one, also:
I wish people would be more clear and include details that we could use to help.

P.S. This is not of much use:
But any way, thanks for trying to help the OP, without any details I don't
see how any one can really help.

might help, it would show if the devices are detected.
