I ran that yesterday and nothing *appeared* to happen. It's still happily running. Should it automatically spot USB mass storage devices being plugged in and mount them for you or do I need to do something to configure it or make it do something?
If you're not running gnome, I guess it won't do anything. If you are you should have a "Removable Drives and Media" setting in your preference menu where you can configure it.
As ever, Googling for configuring gnome-volume-manager and clicking the first result allowed me to find this out.
Also, I would suggest running things without configuring them or knowing what they do might be a very bad idea.
I run an fvwm desktop but have all the gnome libraries installed and fvwm is supposed to be quite 'gnome friendly'. I run a minimal gnome-panel and that provides me with the Gnome System and other menus.
I *did* Google for gnome-volume-manager and read a few of the results but I wasn't all that enlightened. The first hits for my Google were:-
