Firewire disk in Mint 14 stops automounted

[toroimre]

Dear Mint Users,

I had no problem to use my external HD in any of the former Mint versions, but starting Mint 14 it is no longer automounted in either in Mate or in Cinnamon when plugged in. The kernel recognize it as shown by the dmesg output:

The same problem I have in contemporary Fedora and SuSe distribution. If you have any idea how to fix this problem, please, drop me a line.

Thanx, Imre
