Automatically mounting a keyring usb flash device...

Frustin · 10-24-2003, 09:29 AM

i want to automatically mount my keyring usb flash device when i plug it into a usb port.

At the moment hotplug finds the device and if i type:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash -tvfat

it'll work fine.

Except i want to elliminate the typing bit. I want to plug it in and then be able to "browse" the /mnt/flash directory.

Somone seems to have done it and i have followed his instructions but it doesnt seem to work.

In the hotplug docs it mentions certain env variables but they dont exist.

Anyone got any ideas on this?

Try adding a directory under mount eg flash (/mnt/flash) then add a line to your fstab ;
/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat defaults,umask=000 00
