From: briand on 27 Mar 2010 00:50 Hi all, ivman ? automount ? I'd like something where I can encode the behavior for particular devices, i.e. as I'm using the same devices over and over I'd like a way to make sure that the same device gets mapped to the same thing. Not needing X to be up and running is nice too. teh google reveals the above choices. I don't think that automount is quite right, seems like it will work, but wasn't really designed for the task. ivman is several years old, and I'm wondering if it's been superseded by something else.

How about "udev" (for naming/calling devices) and mount/umount (for mounting in command line)?

To set up: - Install the usbmount package. - Modify/add lines in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf: FILESYSTEMS="ext2 ext3 vfat" MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime" FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="-fstype=vfat,flush,gid=plugdev,dmask=0002,fmask=0113" - Add user(s) to plugdev group. - Load kernel modules: sudo modprobe usb-storage sudo modprobe sd_mod (and add them to /etc/modules) When you plug in a device it will appear as /media/usb (linked to mount point /media/usb0). A second device would be mounted as /media/usb1 etc. To unmount, I run sync then pull the device. I think the sync command is probably unnecessary given the flush mount option, but I do it anyway out of caution. There's no GUI, which I count as an advantage. -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Create a directory in /media/<device name> and use the mount command. I use this for usb sticks and externel hard drives. The 'blkid' command will give you the UUID for a file system. Mine way is all manual not sure of the automagic way, either way 'UUID=' is useful. -- Peace Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
