I'm trying to automatically mount a usbkey on Redhat 9 when it is plugged in and then unmount it after it stops being accessed. I wish it to be available to all users not just root. This recipe came from www.systemsaligned.com/learn/howto/hwtusbkey In theory the usbkey is suppossed to mount as soon as it is accessed and unmount one second afer the access ceases.
I created a directory /mnt/removable a file /etc/auto.removable which contains usbkey -fstype=vfat,umask=000 :/dev/sda a file /etc/auto.master which contains /mnt/removable /etc/auto.removable --timeout=1 restarted autofs This is not mounting the usbkey when I try #ls /mnt/removable The key works perfectly when I manually mount it with #mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable Any advice? The instructions say to use sda not sda1 in the auto.removable file and I have tried sda1 with no success.
