Hi, Looking for alternatives on the subject, I've found this:
http://www.unixli.com/q/answers-automount-usb-sticks-on-gentoo-78276.html It looks good, for now, it creates a directory named after the VFAT partition name under "/media" and then it mounts the flash drive on it. Regarding umounting, it umounts the drive after it is removed, which looks strange (to say the least) to me. Did I miss something? Or, in other words, is there a way of forcing operations on a usb flash media to always flush buffers and/or caches as fast as possible? Thanks, Francisco
