LinuxQuestions.org - autofs does not mount removable disk

I've been trying to mount a removable disk via automount and can't get it to work right. here's my auto.master:

Code:

sohmc@bart:~$ cat /etc/auto.master 

#

# $Id: auto.master,v 1.4 2005/01/04 14:36:54 raven Exp $

#

# Sample auto.master file

# This is an automounter map and it has the following format

# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location

# For details of the format look at autofs(5).

#/misc  /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60

#/smb  /etc/auto.smb



/misc          /etc/auto.misc

/net          /etc/auto.net

/media        /etc/auto.media    --verbose --debug

I have a SD card, who's address is /dev/sdc1. A normal mount will work fine. However, I want to be able to automount it as /media/kodak

my /etc/auto.media is as follows:

Code:

sohmc@bart:~$ cat /etc/auto.media 

#

# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $

#

# This is an automounter map and it has the following format

# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location

# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage



kodak          -fstype=vfat,rw,nosuid          :/dev/sdc1



# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination

#linux          -ro,soft,intr          ftp.example.org:/pub/linux

#boot          -fstype=ext2            :/dev/hda1

#floppy        -fstype=auto            :/dev/fd0

#floppy        -fstype=ext2            :/dev/fd0

#e2floppy      -fstype=ext2            :/dev/fd0

#jaz            -fstype=ext2            :/dev/sdc1

#removable      -fstype=ext2            :/dev/hdd

When I insert the card, I get this in my messages:

Code:

Aug 27 17:14:16 bart kernel: SCSI device sdc: 125440 512-byte hdwr sectors (64 MB)

Aug 27 17:14:16 bart kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off

Aug 27 17:14:16 bart kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through

Aug 27 17:14:16 bart kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through

Aug 27 17:14:16 bart kernel:  sdc: sdc1

automount doesn't do anything. it isn't until I pull the card out that automount reports back:

Code:

Aug 27 17:24:31 bart kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.

Aug 27 17:24:31 bart kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.

Aug 27 17:24:31 bart automount[12152]: attempting to mount entry /media/KODAK1

Aug 27 17:24:31 bart automount[12347]: failed to mount /media/KODAK1

Aug 27 17:24:31 bart automount[12347]: umount_multi: no mounts found under /media/KODAK1

This really doesn't make a lot of sense since KODAK1 is never mentioned anywhere. Does automount have some other default config file that I've missed somewhere?

If you have any clues, let me know. :-)
