I have an external drive that apparently won't automount anymore. If I didn't want to restart the machine. Is there a way to automount the drive.

It shows up under /dev/sdb1 if I do:

fstab -l

I wouldn't call it "automounting" but you can manually mount the drive. try making a directory for it to mount to:

    sudo mkdir /media/name_of_drive

Then mount it with

    sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/name_of_drive
