Only, its another patch to a kernel on a headless box, So i'm not to keen to do it till I have to.. if you don't mount it sync, you can't unplug it safely your usb(key,whatever) , since copied data could not be flushed to the disk (remember floppy under linux, when you umount it). It's not slower, it's just it write the data immediately on the device.

RE: [Freevo-users] usb mass storage help please
Is anyone using the mass storage plugin? I'm getting a little frustrated
not being able to work it out..
I've found now there are automounting services that can be hacked to do the
same thing.. Like hotplug on gentoo.
Feel free to offer me some advice on what YOUR doing.. As I'm fairly new to
USB storage and don't know what path to take..
What I really want is for the features that I thought were in usbstorage, to
'add' and 'remove' the given directory when the device is available.
Thinking about this, this would be good for network /smb mounts also.
Maybe I should start ot dig around there..

A little further on..
I can see usb.py is seeing the device..
usb.py: removed device 0402:5621
usb.py: new device 0402:5621
Is anyone using the mass storage plugin? I guess for now a shortcut is to
use usb.py to mount the drives and just hardcode the mount dirs to the video
items..
FYI: This is what my config looks like..
plugin.activate('usb')
USB_HOTPLUG = [ ('0402:5621', 'Mounting USB-1', 'mount /mnt/USB-1
/mnt/USB-2') ]
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('0402:5621',
'/mnt/USB-1'))
reading usbstorage.py, it looks like '0402:5621' is the name given to the
menu item, but i left the USB device ID there just in case i'mmissing
something..
Only issue with this is that they don't unmount when they are removed..
Maybe there's sometheing to add to the usb plugin: ie app to call when
device x is removed.. OK. Ive done this now. Send to freevo-develif anyone
interested.

here are the relavent bits from my config..
plugin.activate('usb')
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('USB 1st', '/mnt/USB-1'))
And fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/USB-1 vfatnoatime,users

It mounts fine with:
mount -v /mnt/USB-1
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/USB-1 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
However, i'm not sure what to look for in terms of logs to find out what
stage i'm getting to in freevo..
I have 1 40G USB HDD with 2 Parts each set to 20g. I would like to have
these both automount when plugged in.
Is this what the automount plugin is for? I'm loathing booting up the
laptop to ssh in and mount them manually ATM.

Re: [Freevo-users] usb mass storage help please
Mick,
Oh sorry i totally misread your post .. you already got it working, heh.
With older version it wasn't needed to use USB_HOTPLUG= and mount the
device with a custom command, it already did it automatically. And i am
fairly sure dischi didn't intended to mount a device semi manually
with the USB_HOTPLUG option.
And not sure what happens if one uses multiple usb storage devices
without the use of the USB_ID.
But i could be wrong of course, again. ;-)

Dischi,
Can you please explain to me how usbtorage.py is meant to funtion with
refference to usb.py?
I can't see any refference to calling mount or umount.. I'm happy to
make this my first contribution, but need your advice as to how its
meant to work..
Its such a simple process that I don't see the need to patch a kernel or
install another dependancy to get it going..

And not sure what happens if one uses multiple usb storage devices
without the use of the USB_ID.
This should be easy enough to hack once I know *how* its meant to work
;-)
