Hi
I need your help to configure udev to auto-(u)mount usb pen-drive on my minimal lenny (No X,hal,etc, only udev).
kernel correctly detect :

Code:

[287909.514127] usb 1-1.4: new high speed USB device using orion-ehci and address 4
[287909.635454] scsi1 : usb-storage 1-1.4:1.0

[287911.817745] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
[287911.824003]  sdb: sdb1 sdb2

[287911.843581] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk

I can manually mount.

But I would like an hot-plug automount like in my ubuntu desktop, on /media/{us_label_or_uuid}

thank you!

Hello vrusu and welcome to LQ,

an additional line in your /etc/fstab should solve that:

Code:

/dev/sdb1   /media/usb   auto   defaults auto user   0 0

the downside of this is that the mountpoint is not automatically created and you'll have to add a line for every possible device (e.g. additionally /dev/sdc1). I'm not sure if there are other ways without hal.

EDIT:

another idea http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html one can define actions for udev rules.
