The option that allows me to automatically mount drives during system startup is great. And it works as advertised. However, I can't figure out why there's a fundamental difference between an automatically mounted drive and one I mount by clicking in KDE Dolphin.
The problem arose when I tried to run an sh script on the automatically mounted drive. I created a folder in my home directory to which the drive is mounted, and after startup, I see it listed in the Dolphin window. After navigating to the folder with the script, even though it has startup enabled, instead of launching the program, the script launches Kate and displays the code instead of actually running. Repeatedly chmod a+rx or trying to run it from a terminal command doesn't change anything. Each time, either nothing happens or the editor launches. Trying to run the script through the terminal shows access denied.
After disabling automount and mounting the drive by clicking in the file manager and running the script by double-clicking, everything works as expected; the script executes and the program runs.
Can someone explain what's going on?
Thank
Frank
