| Code: | umount /mnt/floppy (turn supermount off)

This howto is wonderful.  I already had the supermount module built from my last kernel build, and I managed to get supermount going perfectly with a dvd-rom, a floppy and a usb key drive thing in 10 minutes.
Here's my fstab for the curious:
| Code: | # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda6 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda8 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda9 /home reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda7 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs ro,user,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat user,umask=000 0 0
#/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
#/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive vfat user,umask=000,noauto 0 0
# Supermount mounts
none /mnt/dvdrom supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/fd0,--,user,rw 0 0
none /mnt/usbdrive supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/sda1 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 |

If you're experiencing problems when ejecting the CD, add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf
dev.cdrom.autoclose=0

| Thanks, worked nicely for my 128mb usb key... kept me from having to mount/unmount the damned thing. Also works on my dvd drive. Thanks! |

|

There was a question exactly like mine at the beginning of this thread that was never answered:
In Gnome, the cdrom icon is always there with supermount, even when there is no disc in the cd drive. Is there any way to make nautilus know when the drive is actually empty so that it won't show the cdrom icon?
Thanks,
-Chris

I don't think that it is possible to change this behaviour, because the device is mounted all the time, the real mounting/umounting is done by Supermount on a lower level.

|
|
OK, this is my entry in fstab.
| Quote: | none /mnt/dvd supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0,--,ro,user,umask=0,gid=19 0 0
|
And Following is my listing in /dev
| Quote: | ls -l hdc cdroms/cdrom0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 26 21:14 cdroms/cdrom0 -> ../hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Mar 26 21:14 hdc
|
And hdc is indeed my dvd drive. But when ever I try to mount /mnt/dvd, I get permission denied message. Even If I try | Quote: | | mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd |
I still get permission denied.
Btw I am using udev , and its working perfectly. |

Even though you are specifying the "user" option in your fstab, you can't mount it as an ordinary user for supermount. The idea of supermount is that the driver is mounted all the time, but the actual device is mounted and unmounted automatically by the supermount driver. Thus you mount the cdrom once as root when the machine boots (make it auto) and when any user inserts/ejects a cd the mount point will be automatically mounted/unmounted as needed.
I am just assuming you are tryng to do this as an ordinary user due to the "user" option, which for super mount is not needed.

I updated the patches for the 2.6.5 kernels. HERE for stock vanilla kernels, and HERE for patching if you use the latest love-sources. They dropped supermount support, and I'm sure all of us in this thread would still lke it
*** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ***
They are on a work-for me basis, and right now, they work for me.
All they are is the supermount code 2.0.4, and I just fixed the patches so they patch without any errors for the 2.6.5 kernel.

[EDIT]
supermount should already be in the 2.4.x gentoo-sources

Weird.. I can't seem to use the commands the author says to use because the patch came in a .bz2 and once extracted it has a .diff file..
How do i patch my kernel with this?
"020-supermount-1.2.11a.diff" |

RTFM (man patch). Probably wind up with:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < 020-supermount-1.2.11a.diff |

Can you auto mount samba shares using supermount?
What about other network based file systems?

I'm not sure. Probably not. I think its only intended for removable media. But maybe you could file a bug report for supermount, and get it in on the next version.

I tried getting it to work with Compact Flashes, but in the end I was happier with manually mounting and unmounting them. You can get it to mount other media, but it doesn't work well becuase supermount is designed to work with eject and eject blocking methods which don't exist for other media types (like network folders).
Seems like there should be a nice method for on-access mounting of anything in /etc/fstab, and auto unmounting based on idle timeout. But I haven't seen it.

Your how-to is just what I needed to let supermount work. Thank you.
The comments have their place too: could not have sort out the proper use of '--'. |

I'm not sure. |
In the kernel 2.6 config menu there is another option for remote FS: automount, which have to be used with the autofs tools.
Maybe could it help  |
