[ale] mount issue

[DJ-Pfulio]

If you want to see which partitions are available:  sudo parted -l
If you want to see partitions AND LVs: lsblk

To me, dmesg is useful to see the last few lines when a new device has
been connected - hopefully that will list the USB storage. If not, try a
different USB port and/or don't use a USB hub. Some storage devices do
not work with USB hubs at all. My servers DO NOT automatically mount
storage.

Is auto-mounting of USB media actually the default?

As others have asked - does manually mounting the storage work?
