[newbie] Automount USB devices
At one time my 10.1 system would autodetect if I plugged into USB a card reader or a digital camera on a temporary basis. I must have changed something unwittingly because now it doesn't work. What must I do to make it work again ? I've tried reading Howto's including: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Supermount But my Linux experience is minimal.

I use my camera as a transport medium between my daughters PC ( with WinXP - not connected to anything but the power outlet, of course) and my own box. I noticed that the order of devices is important : my scanner has to be last, the camera first. The other way around the CPU runs amok, cluttering my desktop with endless, strange icons. Maybe I'm too lazy to connect things to the rear of the box ?

[newbie] automount smb shares
Okay, I'm one simple step from success. All 7 boxes, mdk9.2,10.0, and win2k are all sharing files as smb shares. One box is set to force and win elections, but if it is down I don't lose the rest.

Lee Lee; You should be able to use LinNeiborhood to set up your mount points per system, and somewhere in it's title bar menu is a little utility called Create Mountscript which will take the mounted shares and put them in a desktop shortcut that you can click on as needed. That way, you can mount the shares if they're needed, and they'll stay mounted until you log off. You might need to switch to root so that you can change the permissions of the mountscript icon on your users' desktop one time, but that's about it.

If you want a machine to mount remote Samba shares when it boots, that is not problem. You do not need the smb service running on a machine to mount remote shates. If there is an entry in /etc/fstab for the share, the system will try to mount it. (Unless the mount is marked noauto.) The bad part if that if the server is down, you will get a delay while booting, while mount times out. You get the same delay with NFS mounted shares. If what you are after is to have the remote machines mount the shares when the server boots, and starts Samba, then it is not so easy. You could probably create a script that watches the Samba log files, and waits for the server to win the election, and then mounts the shares. But this will only work on machines running nmbd. There may be a better way, but I have never had to do it... Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

Re: [newbie] Automount
Put a line in the /etc/fstab file for filesystem type smbfs see 'man mount' and 'man fstab' If this looks a bit complicated the real easy way to set it up is in Mandrake ControlCentreMountPointsSamba MountPoints In that GUI you can see the NT shares, define a mount point for it, and the GUI will write an fstab entry for you. The default is for the share to be mounted automatically on boot.
