[gentoo-user] automatic ush key mount
I've seen in my previous installation of linux (suse9) that hotplug(?) agent managed to automaticly mount usb key when inserted (apropriate lines were appended to /etc/fstab). How can this be done in gentoo? regards, hk -- hinko dot kocevar at iskramedical dot si Hinko Kocevar, embedded systems developer Iskra Medical d.o.o., Stegne 23, 1k LJ, SLO-EU A rn| [Analects XII:22] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I do this using supermount. Unfortunately, this patch was dropped from the Gentoo patchset a few months ago, so you would need to apply it manually or use ck sources. Then put the following line in /etc/fstab, making changes appropriate to your system. none /mnt/cf supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/usb/cf,--,users,sync,noatime 0 0 This is easier to manage with udev, especially if you have more than one USB mass storage device. -- Neil Bothwick Oxymoron: Reagan memoirs. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So some people keep saying, but it works without problems for me, and for many others. Use udev, dbus, hal, and either gnome-volume-manager or ivman (If you don't want the Gnome dependencies) I already use udev. the last time I looked at the ivman web site, very recently, it still didn't support USB devices. For help, log on to irc.freenode.com and ask everybody in #ivman or #Gentoo. The lack of any permanent documentation would deter me from trying to move away from a proven and stable solution. -- Neil Bothwick Bad dog!
