how to mount a file system automatically
 

Hi everyone,

I am on a Slackware, presently for mount a partition (USB, CD-ROM, MC...) I use: sudo mount /dev/... /mnt/...

But I would like to have this:

In /media:

dvd/
usb_top/
usb_down/
mc/
....

And when I plug a usb drive on the top usb port, the potentials differentes partitions on the usb drive are automaticaly mounted in differents subdirectories in /media/usb_top/

Does udev permit to do this ? I am not sure to figure out udev !

Thanks.

Not only that. The HAL master mounts it at the root! /run/media/so/and/so.....! I hate this new behavior in Slackware --it's getting out of my hand and I think few more versions we gonna call this a new distro "Slackbuntu" :)

I went to the site and am surprised there is no obvious documentation at how to correct this to gratify our choice. I have tinkered much time with udev rules writing, even installed pmount to automate, yet (I suspect) it is Kde that is grabbing the initiative using HAL.

I am currently looking into the /usr documentations for that.

Good luck.

I use actually Xmonad (a simple tiling manager) so I do not have the behaviour bring by a window manager such as Xfce or KDE.
Do you know how the auto-mounting works without a desktop environment ? And I do not have the /run/media directory, is it weird ?

thanks.

Hi,

Does anyone know ivman ? I think it is the solution for my problem, but I don't know how launch or configure this software on slackware

Thanks.

The last update for ivman was in 2007, IO would neither recommend to use unsupported software nor think that it still works on recent distributions.

Thank you, I didn't see that, I'll get something like ivman. Do you know one ?
