Subject: Problem mounting USB external drive
Date: Mon, 03 May 2004 05:09:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4095D3FA.8060606@cox.net> (raw)

I've got an external drive in a USB 2.0 enclosure that I would like to 
have mounted when I plug it in. I'm running Fedora Core 1. I have 
created an entry in /etc/updfstab.conf that successfully adds an entry 
to the /etc/fstab and creates a mount point in /mnt. I can then mount 
the drive from the CLI. Poking around the Fedora mailing list, the 
answer to automated mounting seemed to lie in the 
/etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage script. I created the script and verified 
that it was executed. However, updfstab does not seem to get run until 
after usb-storage is completed. Hence, no automatic mount.

My question is this. What is the correct way within the hotplug 
framework to get a hot-plugged drive to mount automatically?

If this is the wrong forum to ask this question, I apologize. Could 
someone point me in the right direction to ask it.

Thanks!

Andrew Robinson
