Upon inserting a USB stick or similar device, mdev will run
an automounter script that mounts valid partitions on
/media/<device>. The script first checks /etc/fstab entries
so that mounting on UUID or LABEL or using custom mount options
is still possible. If /etc/fstab does not contain particular
mount options, the script will create (and remove) the mountpoint
automatically.
The script also supports full disk partitions (devices without
partition table).
Thanks for this, but can this script be put into a separate recipe to make
it even easier for people who don't want it, or want their own version? The
prior art here is the udev
automounting script which is in udev-extraconf.
Also it would be nice if the path matched the most recent
use in udev which is /run/media/<device>
Of course, these locations need to move around every few years, otherwise
people would be expecting things to remain in place...
I'd rather keep using the /media symlink, as it gives distributions a chance
to move things around.
On the satellite settop boxes, /media is a 64k tmpfs mount. This is because
when a mount fails, the box may end up writing a TV recording to wherever
/media happens to be. It that's flash or a big tmpfs, the box will commit
suicide in mere seconds by either filling the flash or eating up the precious
RAM. And for some things, the box really needs a big tmpfs, so just reducing
the volatiles' sizes wasn't an option.
Having said that, if this is blocking, I'll do a s./media./run/media.g on the
file, getting this mainlined has higher priority.
