Hi !

Oops ! Noway I could have written that piece of code !

As per shakthi's advice I understood  Udev rules to be made.

And it worked.

Another solution seems to be "ivman" which seems to work like the
gnome-volume-manager.

Warning: I haven't tested it myself. I prefer to manually use "pmount".

I am not sure that this is a correct solution. 

1. The "remove" rule will be applied after the device is removed. How
will the "umount" work in that case? Looks like a recipe for
data-loss!

2. The "udev" rules are (IMHO) not the proper place to implement mount
and unmount rules.

3. One solution is to use automount daemons like
autofs or autofs5 or afuse. This will also auto-unmount after a time
delay (i.e. some period when the drive is unused) which is configurable.

4. Even if you do use "udev" to mount, you need to implement umount
differently. For example, GNOME and KDE require that the user
*requests* the unmounting of the device; you could do the same. 

Regards,

Kapil.

I think that one needs to worry about write-caching controllers only
for hard disks, but I may be wrong.

About the light staying on for Linux/Solaris. I consider this to be
a bug since the user should get an indication that the device is no
longer in use. I will google^Wcheck whether there is some discussion
on this in the various mailing lists.

I did not know about that.  :)
Anyway, my lights on my thumb drive do not switch off even after an
unmount on gnu/linux or solaris. But they do on the Windows machines
at college. Is there a reason why this happens? Or is it that the lights are
controlled by the usb driver?

Re: [Ilugc] Automount USB drives

[varadarajan narayanan]

Hi !

Happy ending !

I wanted

automatic directory creation in /media
automatic symlinking
automatic mounting
automatic unmounting (and I will yank it without unmounting anytime after
the lights stop blinking in the USB stick ! This is a necessary condition
for this device)
automatic removal of directory


so added the

automount.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="usb%m", OPTIONS="last_rule"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", SYMLINK+="usb%n", NAME="%k"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/usb%n"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o
rw,noauto,sync,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/%k /media/usb%n",
OPTIONS="last_rule"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/usb%n"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/usb%n",
OPTIONS="last_rule"

And works like a charm !

Thanks to ILUGC ! ILUGC rocks !

Not really! See the recent discussion on sync, fsync and so on on
LKML or the kernel page of LWN. For example,
 http://lwn.net/Articles/325420/ says:

 All [sync] does is preëmpt the normally delayed flushing of dirty blocks by

To ensure that data gets written to a removable device you should
"umount" it. Then wait for the activity light on the device to go off
(if it is not broken!) before unplugging/remove the device.

Data is not written immediately. It is written asynchronously. You can force
it
to be written to the disk by using the sync call.. This call will exit only
when
all data waiting to be written has been written (This works even when you
have
two or more disks where data remains unwritten)

#sync

Now if you pull the usb drive, data is safe. Anyway. I feel it is better to
unmount.
Unmouting calls sync internally. But then, I guess it does some more stuff
too.

Hi !

Thanks for the inputs !
The auto mounting seems to be working now.

Now the problem is auto -Yanking !

If you yank the usb without unmounting the data is not wriiten !
Is this something to do with caching ? Is there a way to disable this and
write the data immediately in to the drive so that we can yank it any time ?

Thanks for all the inputs once again !

Write a shell script that repeats rsync until it exits with a

You might want to try setting a high value for the --timeout option. I
haven't tried this, though, so good luck.

To 'continue' a previous session, use the --partial option.

You could kill the process and start it again in daemon mode:

# rsync --daemon
or
# rsync -d

call rsync from a script that restarts it.

The process has to be started in screen in order to re-attach.

I don't know about re-attaching, however if all that you want is to run process 
even after closing shell or logout, you may use nohup.
e.g
$ nohup myprog &
In this case myprog will run even if you log out.

But then, the process should have been started in screen. I started it
directly in a pty and closed that pty.

Is there no way to restart it without reattaching it. Or opening a new pty
which is now of the same number as the closed one and doing something to
attach the process to the new pty.

Ashish

[Ilugc] Persistent / continue option in Rsync

[Ashish Verma]

Hi,

I am currently running rsync over a vpn connection. At times the VPN
connection disconnects and rsync is killed. Is there a way to have
persistent (keep trying till the connection comes up) / continue previous
session, something like 'wget -c'.

I had started a rsync process in the bg and then happened to close that

[Ilugc] Making a Beowulf Cluster in 13 Steps

[sanath kumar]

Hi,
  I've built a small cluster in my home with my laptop and my desktop.
Sharing my experiences, I've written a post at CEGLUG's website. Check the
following site for the full tutorial on how to build a beowulf cluster in
just 13 steps - http://www.ceglug.org/articles/tutorials/cluster/cluster.php.
I've not included the performance benchmarks of this cluster in the
tutorial. If you're interested in viewing the performance stats of this
cluster, visit my blog - http://blog.ceglug.org/sanath/?p=71. Even though
I've not run any standard SPEC programs, the program which I've run is
enough to demonstrate the proof of concept.

"order hosts,bind"

does not hurt even though it is supposed to be the default.  With it you 
ensure that the resolver first looks at /etc/hosts and goes to bind if 
the fqdn remains unresolved.  "man host.conf" for more info.

Hi !

Yes ! I have udev installed.
when i do,
#tail -f /var/log/messages

I see the drive being detected .. but not mounted.

Could you please tell where to add the rule to mount the device ?

I see directory /etc/udev  and bunch of files there !
