The NTFS drive is automounted but the ext4 drive is not.
This is not an issue with the mate desktop since the same thing happens when I use the gnome classic desktop on F42.
Under F40 all my external USB drives were automounted.

Tim:Also, your message didn't say *how* you were auto-mounting. AutoFS? With or without /etc/fstab entries, etc?Patrick Dupre:There is nothing in /etc/fstab As I said, it just "automount" when I plug the USB SSD (like a key).Then most likely, that would be your desktop environment in charge of the automounting, then. Which one do you use? Gnome, KDE, Mate, etc. I'm using Fedora 42 with Mate on my other PC, and still have CentOS on this PC (also with Mate). And with either of them, if I plug my old laptop drive into USB enclosure, then plug that into my system. It does auto-mount the old Windows partition, and the other partitions are listed in the file explorer as things I can click on and load up, but they're not mounted until I do that. I don't have the option to "browse media when inserted" selected (which is more about opening a file lister window, than mounting), on either of them. And temporarily enabling that, didn't make any difference. That drive has this on it: 1st partition Fedora /boot 2nd partition Ye olde Windows Vista 3rd partition Ext3 partition And I recall when plugging in an install ISO dd'd to a USB flash drive with multiple partitions, one gets auto-mounted, the rest are available to look at, but not auto-mounted.This is what I anticipated. I use gnome I am going to clarify the point (see the attached picture) Using the gnome file browser, You can see that the 2 first partitions are mounted automatically (5.2 GB Volume, and the 786 MB Volume) but not the 2 next ones (pdupre and pdupre_ext) Of course, if I click right on them, I can mount them. This is what I consider "auto-mounted" versus manually mounted. This is not really an issue, just trying to understand.
