|
|
Hi there,
Could anyone point me a guide for USB automount features using udev? In my previous Gentoo instalation the automount feature was so straightforward that I can't even recall having done any extra configuration at all.
Is this guide up-to-date? _________________ "Nolite arbitrari quia venerim mittere pacem in terram non veni pacem mittere sed gladium" (Yeshua Ha Mashiach)

Automounter may be overkill for what you want to do.
An alternative is to write your own udev rules, as set out here. That's what I did until I discovered uam, which is in portage and does pretty much what I was trying to do with my rules, only better. You can configure it to name things how you like, but the defaults work for me. |

Neat, greyspoke. I had forgot about it, but uam is the reason why in my previous Gentoo installation I haven't had any configuration for having automount! _________________ "Nolite arbitrari quia venerim mittere pacem in terram non veni pacem mittere sed gladium" (Yeshua Ha Mashiach) |

Glad to help. Actually I had to rummage around to remember the name "uam". It needs something a bit more memorable and descriptive. |

uam looks cool haven't tried it.
I have been using
I had a little problem with something not loading modules ntfs when I insert a ntfs formatted drive.
A little kernel adjustment and now its fine.
I think it was a usb suspend option under acpi.
VFAT I just compiled into the kernel since thats what most of those little buggers are. _________________ Donate to Gentoo |
