Temp fix for failing automount
in [Suse]
|
From: John Bowling on 12 May 2010 17:13 My system does not auto-mount optical drives or usb drives, so I created a script to do it: --------------- #!/bin/bash # Fix for a flunking system auto-mount!!! # When it won't auto-mount CD/DVD/USB echo "Fix for a flunking system auto-mount!!!" if [[ $UID -ne 0 ]]; then echo "$0 Must be run as root" exit 1 fi echo "" echo "Current mounts under /media :" ls /media echo "" echo "Current mountable devices :" ls /dev/cd* ls /dev/sd* echo "" echo "Which device to manually mount?" echo "O - Optical - CD or DVD" echo "b - /dev/sdb1" echo "c - /dev/sdc1" echo "d - /dev/sdd1" read mDev case $mDev in "O") echo "Mounting the CD or DVD" mkdir /media/cd/ 2> /dev/null mount -t auto /dev/cdrom1 /media/cd/ 2> /dev/null ls /media/cd/ ;; "b") echo "Mounting the usb device /dev/sdb1/ on /media/usb1" mkdir /media/usb1/ 2> /dev/null mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1/ 2> /dev/null ls /media/usb1/ ;; "c") echo "Mounting the usb device /dev/sdc1/ on /media/usb2" mkdir /media/usb2/ 2> /dev/null mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/usb2/ 2> /dev/null ls /media/usb2/ ;; "d") echo "Mounting the usb device /dev/sdd1/ on /media/usb3" mkdir /media/usb3/ 2> /dev/null mount -t auto /dev/sdd1 /media/usb3/ 2> /dev/null ls /media/usb3/ ;; esac ----------------- It may not be optimal or pretty, but it works!

Now cfn autofs does not find it anywhere, and ls /bin or /sbin or /usr/bin does not show it. Yast lists it under software management as installed. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and then even rebooted, and none of that makes it work.

The binary are: /usr/sbin/automount /usr/sbin/rcautofs

Still no mount for either dvd or usb dongle. var/log/messages has [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk Nothing new in /media/ rpm -qf automount returns: "autofs-5.0.4-6.2.1.i586" |
