 |
|
Hi! I am trying to automount usb drives through autofs, and I cannot automount the flash disks anywhere. Normally mounting the drive via mount /dev/sdc1 /media works fine, and so does umounting. Strangely, even though I have the autofs service started, /var/log/messages doesn't say anything about autofs.
auto.master:
| Code: | | /media /etc/auto.misc --timeout=120,sync,nodev,nosuid |
auto.misc:
| Code: | | sdc1 -fstype=vfat,async,nodev,nosuid,umask=000 :/dev/sdc1 |
I've tried to enumerate udev items uniquely (i.e. sdc1->flash1) but this also does not work when I restart udev. I would appreciate some help explaining how and why this failing.
Thanks.[/code]

Not sure if I can help but what documentation have you been following to install and setup "autofs"? Is it possible your paths are wrong? | Code: | Where
/media /etc/auto.misc --timeout=120,sync,nodev,nosuid
Maybe should be
/media /etc/autofs/auto.misc --timeout=120,sync,nodev,nosuid |
The Gentoo Wiki has a small doc on this, as does the Arch Wiki. Not sure how up to date they are though.[/url] |

Well, I fixed it, but the main problem was it seems I forgot to comment out "BROWSE_MODE"; this made the map unreadable.
Curious, I would like to reenumerate drives through udev custom rules, but this line in /etc/udev/rules.d/custom.rules:
| Code: | | SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTRS{model}=="Flash Disk ", SYMLINK+="ehd%n" |
But, ls /dev reveals that there is no reenumerated drive. :/
 Thanks

I am not quite sure what you are trying to do here or why however it looks like your rule needs to be refined. I'm not a udev expert by any means. How did you arrive at <ATTRS{model}=="Flash Disk ">?
If I insert a USB Thumb, (flash drive, stick what ever were calling it) into my system (Mine are all automatically mounted) and mount it. I can run | Code: |
# dmesg | tail -20

This output gives me a lot a data for writing a udve rule for this particular device. I can see it is mounted as /dev/sde and has a single partition on it "sde1". With that information I can run | Code: |
# udevadm info -a -p /sys/block/sde | grep model
ATTRS{model}=="USB 2.0 FD " |
AND | Code: |
# lsusb -v | grep -A 5 Vendor
idVendor 0x154b PNY
idProduct 0x005b
bcdDevice 11.00
iManufacturer 1 PNY Technologies
iProduct 2 USB 2.0 FD
iSerial 3 AD39HD1000000126
can't get debug descriptor: Resource temporarily unavailable
NOTE: More informations is output here but I only included the information relating to the USB Drive.
|
AND | Code: |
# udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sde)
Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.
NOTE: I left out all the output of this command because its redundant. |
With all this information I would probably write a rule like this | Code: |
KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{serial}=="AD39HD1000000126", ATTRS{idVendor}=="154b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="USB 2.0 FD" SYMLINK+="ehd%n" |
I haven't tested this at all but it should create /dev/ehd and mount this specific USB device at /dev/ehd. Then it would be a matter of adjusting your autofs configs to reflect the changes.
GOOD LUCK.......... |
