Hi.
(It's a bit long, but the important terms are in
bold and
italic :-)
I'm hardly trying to find a convenient way to plug/unplug my
USB key with
Mandrake 10.1 CE.
I have successfully patched
mount so it can recognize
UUID and
LABEL on
vfat (which is my key's filesystem) :
http://castet.matthieu.free.fr/downl...-2.12pre.patch.
So, my
/etc/fstab entry is the following :
Code:
UUID=41975015-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 /mnt/usbgirl vfat exec,umask=0077,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,noauto,noatime,users 0 0
which works quite well (except that I have a problem unmounting as a user, but this is not the point).
Now, the problem : it seems that a
mad process is running on my computer : some people use to call it
supermount,
magicdev,
kudzu or other pernicious names... This process inserts and modifies entries in my
/etc/fstab !!!!
Here's how the previous line looks like after the hurricane :
Code:
/dev/UUID=41975015-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 /mnt/usbgirl vfat exec,umask=0077,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,noauto,noatime,users 0 0
Note the new
/dev/ prefix to my entry. Of course,
mount /mnt/usbgirl doesn't work anymore.
I have first thought about using the full command :
Code:
mount -U 41975015-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -t vfat -o exec,umask=0077,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,noauto,noatime,users /mnt/usbgirl
but only root can do that (it told me).
I'm ok to disable the
automount feature (even if
kudzu is very usefull at launch time), but how to do that ?
please... help...
