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

NAME
xfce4-power-manager-settings - Settings dialog for the Xfce 4 Power manager SYNOPSIS
xfce4-power-manager-settings [options] DESCRIPTION
xfce4-power-manager-settings is a utility that comes with the Xfce4 power manager to access/change its configuration. It is a separate program that uses xfconf to load/save settings according to the user's choices. xfce4-power-manager-settings requires the Xfce4 power man- ager to be running because it connects to it via DBus and gets information about which settings should and should not be displayed; for example, the xfce4-power-manager-settings utility will not show the LCD brightness settings if no device was detected by the running instance of the Xfce4 power manager. xfce4-power-manager-settings does not have any command line options. BUGS
Please report bugs to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Development discussion should be conducted on the goodies-dev@xfce.org mailing list. Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list. HOMEPAGE
