i was using gnome-mount to automount drives but in lucid it was removed. So is there any alternatives in lucid except editing fstab and programs that do so?
Gnome-mount is a program which mounts disks using the same facilities as when mounting a disk as a normal user through Nautilus. There is no need to setup mountpoints or filesystems. This is particularly interesting if you want to use the automatically created mountpoints instead of manually specifying them for each disk.
Answer
Even if there is no gnome-mount there should still be gvfs-mount
$ gvfs-mount --help
Usage:
gvfs-mount [OPTION...] - mount
Help Options:
-h, --help Show help options
Application Options:
-m, --mountable Mount as mountable
-d, --device Mount volume with device file
-u, --unmount Unmount
-s, --unmount-scheme Unmount all mounts with the given scheme
-l, --list List
-i, --detail Show extra information for List and Monitor
-o, --monitor Monitor events
And as for the need to set up mountpoints manually via /etc/fstab, are you sure you didn't do something to break the functionality that came with gnome? This shouldn't require manual intervention.
