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?

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!

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
Code:
sys-fs/udisks-glue

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.
