How to change default KDE mount option ?

mhtrinh · 01-10-2008, 07:26 AM

I have Fedora 8 x86_64.

I want to change default option when KDE mount my usb stick (eg : where to mount, umask, users option, etc ...)

I tried :
- Edit /etc/fstab : the device change each time ... (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdb1, etc ...)

- Configure autofs : same problem : the device's number and letter change ...

- Edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi : I can change the mount point (but I still can't change the "/media") but it don't take umask and users option

- install ivman : I can't find documentations on how to add my options (mount point, users, umask option) :-(

Thanks for your help.

Try putting a line in /etc/fstab for each possible device.

Hi,

I have a problematic USB stick : it mount as /dev/sdb an not /dev/sdb1
When I put 2 lines /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab, I got mount error :

Quote:

/dev/sdb /media/usb_key vfat rw,users,umask=0002,noatime,flush,utf8,shortname=lower 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb_key vfat rw,users,umask=0002,noatime,flush,utf8,shortname=lower 0 0

With KDE, when I do : right-click on the usb icon on desktop, then "mount", I got error message :
Mount: wrong fs fstype, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb
[blabla ...]
