I am running an up to date Lenny box with FVWM. I do not run Gnome, or KDE. I want to have removable devices, such as flash drives and mp3 players, automount. I have read the mini How-To on automounting, but I still can't get it to work.
This is the relevant data: $ cat /etc/auto.master # # $Id: auto.master,v 1.4 2005/01/04 14:36:54 raven Exp $ # # Sample auto.master file # This is an automounter map and it has the following format # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location # For details of the format look at autofs(5). #/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60 #/smb /etc/auto.smb #/misc /etc/auto.misc #/net /etc/auto.net /mnt /etc/auto.mnt $ cat /etc/auto.mnt # # $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $ # # This is an automounter map and it has the following format # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location # Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage #cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom # the following entries are samples to pique your imagination linux -ro,soft,intr ftp.example.org:/pub/linux #boot -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda1 #floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0 #floppy -fstype=ext2 :/dev/fd0 #e2floppy -fstype=ext2 :/dev/fd0 #jaz -fstype=ext2 :/dev/sdc1 #removable -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hdd #pen -fstype=auto :/dev/sda1 mp3 -fstype=auto UUID="7CE2-E7EA" lexar -fstype=vfat LABEL="LEXAR MEDIA" $ /etc/init.d/autofs status Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /mnt file /etc/auto.mnt Active Mount Points: -------------------- /usr/sbin/automount --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_mnt.pid --timeout=300 /mnt file /etc/auto.mnt The last two lines in /etc/auto.mnt refer to the devices that I am trying to automount. I would use UUID for lexar, but it is "0000-0000" and would conflict with other devices. I unplugged the devices prior to updating the files, the replugged them, but they do not automount. I made sure that there are no references to the files in /etc/fstab, but still no automounting. I also tried reloading autofs and then replugging the devices. Nothing. What am I missing?
