Topic: How to mount exfat USB drive
64gig fat32 USB drive mounts but 128gig exfat does not auto mount
If I look in gparted I can see both drives. If I use yad (Unplug Removable Drive Icon in the panel) only the 64 gig drive is listed.
Looking @ /media/green611 (Thumbs) I have one blue folder USB30FD that is the 64gig fat32…
Seems the 128 gig flash drive is being seen by gparted, but not in media…
What do I need to do for the exfat drive to automount, or force mount the flash drive?

green611@green611:~Currently, antiX runs fine even on low end computers. But then when you (accidentally?) open one more tab in your browser, it would become the last straw and then your entire computer becomes very unresponsive (a.k.a. thrashing), and at that point you would likely need a hard shutdown and reboot. Such symptom would happen, seemingly regardless of whether I enable swap on hard disk, or use no swap at all.
I remember that, back in my Windows XP days, I could disable swap (it is named “pagefile” in Windows), so that my computer was fully operating on RAM only. When I’m about to open a new app Xyz, and if the computer was running out of memory, I would get a pop-up error window saying something like “there is not enough memory to run your program Xyz”. Of course, if that “offending” app happens to be my browser attempting to open a new tab, that entire browser process would be killed, and effectively free up all its previously consumed RAM. At least my entire desktop session remains as responsive as usual, therefore I would not lose – for example – my Word document being edited in a separated Word app.
Can antiX (or Linux, for that matter) be configured to still be responsive when running out of memory?
