Getting external devices to stay put with fstab-sync
All,
How can you get an external device -- like a usb disk -- to remain mounted when no user is logged in and still use fstab-sync? Basically, we have about 20 Linux boxes all running CentOS 4.4 on our local network and many of them have external USB drives. When nobody is physically logged into the machine (by physically, I mean running X), the drives remain unmounted and inaccessible to users on the network.
There must be a simple solution for this, but I have yet to find one. I know that I can disable fstab-sync, but I'd like to keep this functionality as it makes it easy for people to use their personal usb thumbdrives and whatnot. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bret
