devd based AUTOMOUNTER

vermaden · 02-18-2012, 03:56 AM

Hi,

I have finally made some effort on writing flexible yet very simple automounter for FreeBSD desktop.

Feel free to submit me BUG reports to this thread

It currently supports these file formats:
-- NTFS (rw) requires sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
-- FAT/FAT32
-- exFAT requires sysutils/fusefs-exfat
-- EXT2
-- EXT3
-- EXT4 requires sysutils/fusefs-ext4fuse
-- UFS (DOH!)

It keeps state of the mounted devices at /var/run/automount.state and logs all activities to /var/log/automount.log file.

The place for the script is at /usr/local/sbin/automount.sh executable.

The only additional configuration it requires is /usr/local/etc/devd/automount_devd.conf file.

I have created repository @ GITHUB here:
https://github.com/vermaden/automount

Hi,

I have created a PORT at last, its in the 'port' directory in the usual place:

https://github.com/vermaden/automount/

After latest 'commits' I think that its ready for day-to-day use.

To make 'full advantage' of *automount* install these ports:

sysutils/ntfsprogs
sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
sysutils/fusefs-ext4fuse
sysutils/fusefs-exfat

I will have to think about creating a man page through ...
