I have updated the X2Go-automounter script.
Assuming you are using the build instructions at
<https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce>, especially
<https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#live-patching_the_build>,
you should now be able to automatically mount VFAT, NTFS, HFS, HPFS out
of the box (as previously mentioned, under
/media/vendor_model/partitiondevice). Once my further changes (currently
only stored locally on my computer) make it to the git repos, you will
also be able to access ext* filesystems, albeit in read-only mode only.

So neither usbmount nor udev/pmount should be necessary.
If automounting still fails for you without them, please provide more
info about your setup.

Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
