No problem. I'm not certain that the problem is with the mount command but
I am not sufficiently knowledgeable about the automounting system in Linux
to comment otherwise...

I looked up mount. It is a Linux syscall and if the mount syscall was
broken then lots of things would break and  people would be shouting about
it. I suppose the mount syscall could be slightly broken...

Well, I've been using the Dell Inspiron 530s since at least September 2018
on Ubuntu Linux and it has been solid all that time. I did have a problem
upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04.5 to Ubuntu 24.04.1 which resulted in me having
to install the O.S. from scratch so I thought I'd try Xubuntu.

HTH,


Ian
