Hey all - I'm hoping somebody might be able to point out a suggestion or solution for the following.
What I have is a Debian (sarge) server, and a couple of usb storage devices. What I want to do is to find a way that when I plug in one of the storage devices, that the server will automagically mount the device. Extra points if I can also kick off a script once the drive is mounted. I tried the usbmount package, but it doesn't seem to work at all. All of the /media/usb* directories have been created, but nothing gets mounted when I plug in the device. I should also mention that I don't know for sure which usb slot the storage device will be plugged into, nor can I guarantee that it will be the only usb device plugged in. Currently, when I plug in my 256MB pen drive, I see the following in the logs: ==> daemon.log <== May 9 21:50:42 localhost udev[3507]: creating device node '/dev/sdb' ==> messages <== May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 4 May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: Vendor: Model: USB DISK 12X Rev: PMAP May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdb: 487424 512-byte hdwr sectors (250 MB) May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: sdb: assuming Write Enabled May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 ==> syslog <== May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 4 May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: Vendor: Model: USB DISK 12X Rev: PMAP May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdb: 487424 512-byte hdwr sectors (250 MB) May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: sdb: assuming Write Enabled May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 May 9 21:50:42 localhost kernel: USB Mass Storage device found at 4 May 9 21:50:42 localhost udev[3507]: creating device node '/dev/sdb' ==> messages <== May 9 21:50:43 localhost scsi.agent[3491]: sd_mod: loaded sucessfully (for disk) May 9 21:50:43 localhost usb.agent[3466]: usb-storage: already loaded ==> syslog <== May 9 21:50:43 localhost scsi.agent[3491]: sd_mod: loaded sucessfully (for disk) May 9 21:50:43 localhost usb.agent[3466]: usb-storage: already loaded ==> daemon.log <== May 9 21:50:44 localhost udev[3554]: creating device node '/dev/sdb1' ==> syslog <== May 9 21:50:44 localhost udev[3554]: creating device node '/dev/sdb1' Anybody have any suggestions? -- Cole Tuininga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Code Energy (http://www.code-energy.com/) _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
