Using USB sticks in FreeBSD
I have a number of questions regarding using usb sticks on xfce and freebsd.
1- Does the thunar volume manager (xfce plugin) actually provide a means to automount usb sticks? I have set all possible options in the volume manager, but have not had any automount yet.
2- Is there any utility on freebsd to measure mean time between failure, or expected time to failure?
3- Is it possible (apart from being undesirable for security and performance reasons) to define a usb stick as a network disc, whereby it defines itself as network disc regardless of where it is plugged in?

Thanks in advance

orage

ORAGE(1)																  ORAGE(1)

NAME

       orage - Calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment

SYNOPSIS

       orage [options] [[FILE]...]

DESCRIPTION

       orage is a fast and easy to use graphical calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It uses portable ical format and includes common
       calendar features like repeating appointments and multiple alarming possibilities.  orage does not have group calendar features, but can
       only be used for single user.

       orage takes a list of FILEs for ical files that should be imported. Contents of those files are read and converted into orage, but those
       files are left untouched.

       For a more detailed explanation of orage, please see the Help menu.

OPTIONS

       -v, --version
	   Print version information and exit.

       -?, --help
	   Print brief help and exit.

       -p, ----preferences
	   Open the preferences setting window.

       -t, --toggle
	   Hide orage if it is visible and show it if it is hidden.

       -a, ----add-foreign file [RW]
	   Add a foreign file into orage. By default this file is read-only but adding RW after the filename makes it writeable.

       -r, ----remove-foreign file
	   Remove foreign file from orage. The file itself is not removed or modified. If you want to remove it, you need to do that separately
	   using proper operating system command.

FILES

       All orage datafiles are by default in ~/.local/share/orage and all configuration files are in ~/.config/orage. (Note that you can change
       these locations, so if you do not find them, check from the UI.)

BUGS

       Please report any bugs and enhancement requests to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Usage related questions can be sent to xfce@xfce.org email
       list.
