Hi all,

I am writing a rule so that my usb drive will automatically mount to a point.

Iam new bie to this please help me out to write rules..

I tried somehow like this

created a file by name zzz.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/
1ST Try
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="sd?1-9]",SUBSYSTEM=="block",SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",SYMLINK+="vijayPD",RUN+="/bin/mount /dev/vijayPD /mnt"

ACTION=="remove",KERNEL=="sd?1-9]",SUBSYSTEM=="block",SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",RUN+="/bin/umount /mnt"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But not succeded infact the Symlink is getting created but it is not mounting to /mnt

when I manually typed /usr/bin/sudo /bin/mount /dev/vijayPD /mnt it is getting mounted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd try
RUN+="/bin/su root -c /bin/mount /dev/vijayPD /mnt"
RUN+="/bin/su root -c /bin/umount /mnt"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd try
RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo /bin/mount /dev/vijayPD /mnt"
RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo /bin/umount /mnt"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I came across some threads mentioning to make use pmount and pumount and tried with it but no luck
4th try
RUN+="/usr/bin/pmount /dev/vijayPD /mnt"
RUN+="/usr/bin/pumount /mnt"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So posting here would help me.

Help me.

Thanks,
VJ

What errors you get while mounting?

No errors....

So now what's the problem you're facing?

As I wrote in your other thread asking the same question ...

The mount command is /sbin/mount, not /bin/mount

BTW, IMHO the remove ACTION should not be required. The umount should happen before the remove or the file system is likely to be damaged.
