This does not work. I get the error message that /proc/bus/usb does not exist. btw, when I test the mounted fs's with "mount" the following prints out: tentwoa:/home/xyz # mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) /dev/sdb2 on /mnt/sdb2 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda2 on /mnt/sda2 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda3 on /mnt/sda3 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/sdb3 type reiserfs (rw) /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/sdc1 type reiserfs (rw) /dev/hda3 on /mnt/hda3 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sdd1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower) the usb devices usb1, usb2, 1-0:1.0, 1-1, 1-1:1.0, 1-8, 1-8:1.0 and 2-0:1.0 are found in /sys/bus/usb/devices the kernel & source are 2.6.18.2-34x86-64 > see 1) for automounting at boot. > > Hope it helps.
