I have an iPod mini, and all is very good, and I have my own shell scripts
to mount and unmount it, in the right place, when I want it and with the right options.

I would like to tell SuSE 9.2 not to mount my iPod (and put it in /media/ieee1934xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), but to continue to automount other things...
how do I register this exception?

-Riddick

Not for sure about your setup but one possiablity is edit /etc/fstab and change the line that mounts the ipod from someting auto to noauto

Example: cut of my /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 auto umask=000,users,noauto,owner,rw,sync,dirsync 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 auto umask=000,users,noauto,owner,rw,sync,dirsync 0 0

sounds good!
I'll try that out, thanks... anyway to reload the fstab without rebooting?

edit fstab usually does not requires rebooting. I can add new items to fsatb and they become active immediatly

Oh dear:

This is the problem.
Not autoed... not reallt mentioned (the iPod is sdc)

What is the output of ' /sbin/fdisk -l ' when the Ipod is connected

The iPod is the last one

Do you have a service called kudzu running? Im not famailar with SUSE the way it works with USB. I know it can be more automatic for non linux users. Need a SUSE user here.

One more question where does it mount now when plugged in. Does it mount to the same point listed in fstab?
If you want it some where else edit fstab and see what happens. I wonder if SUSE uses udev. What is your kernel version?

Hope something helps
Brian1

from KSysGuard, no kudzu running.
We're talking about Firewire, right? not usb :S
It doesn't mount to the place in fstab, it mounts to /media/ieee1394-000a270002c00dcc-0-0p2/
This must be handled by something else!

ED:/home/ed/.wine/drive_c/My Documents # kernelversion
2.6

(ignore the directory I was doing somthing else)
Thanks for the speedy replies!

How do I check for udev?
there IS a process (always in KSysGuard) called udevd...

-Riddick

Okay I am no expert in udev but under /etc/udev/rules.d I belive is a conf file that might contain the moint point you see. If you have /etc/udev check other files there.

Yes I am aware of it being iee1394 / firewire and the way ieee1394 storage devices work with linux is it uses scsi as its interface. Just as USB does as well. It can be confusing to the beginner. There is also a tool out there that can scan the 1394 bus. Similiar to usbview It is called gscanbus at http://gscanbus.berlios.de/

Brian1

I could be over thinking here. It could be autofs. There is a config file under /etc/auto.master . See whats in it.
If it is there could you post the contents of the file for my reference.

Brian1

here is:
--------/etc/auto.master-----------
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.1 2001/04/17 11:43:02 arvin Exp arvin $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# Also see variable AUTOFS_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/autofs
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).

#/misc /etc/auto.misc

Doesn't look used.
Thanks!!! (Merry XMas by the way)

You got at the moment. Going out now. Maybe it will come to me.

Later and Merry Christmas too
Brian1

I'll wait!
Thanks a lot for taking me this far!

Out the door but do you have all three modules loaded ieee1394, sdp2, and raw1394.
type ' lsmod ' for output of loaded modules
