The computer that was upgraded from Debian Jessie to Beowulf x86 doesn't
have any "front end" for udisks2 installed unless it was installed
automagically. This computer automounts USB devices in /media as one of
usb0-7. The one I am having trouble with is a new install of Beowulf AMD64.

udisksctl does see the thumb drive. The udisksd daemon is running but
it doesn't mount the thumb drive anywhere I can find. It does show up
in /dev as sdb.

I do not have a raid setup.
