The hotplug scripts are "depreciated" for 2.6 kernel versions, and udev
has completly replaced this.

Look at how GNOME and KDE do automounting of usb storage devices now,
they use HAL and dbus messages to catch the event and do something with
it.

problem while automounting the usb mass storage

[Deepak Katagade]

Hi,
    I gone through the  website www. greenfly.org and I am trying to
automount a usb device.I followed all the steps mentioned in the site
i.e    1..   Making an entry in the  /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.
                                         2..   And adding a script
named  usb-storage in the /etc/hotplug/usb and also
                                         3.    Making an entry in the
/etc/fstab.

The script  usb-storage was able to execute and I was able check it by
using echo statement.The thing which is not happening is mount command
present in the usb-storage script .In the script i was able to print
statements before and after the mount but mounting of the device is
not happening.Mount is not giving any errors also.The device has been
detected properly but mount is not happening .
when i ran this script from shell manually I was able to MOUNT.


 The partitions has been detected propely, product id, device id has
been changed properly according to my device.
    I have used this usb-storage script.

#!/bin/sh
case "$PRODUCT" in
   changed according to my device) # FireXpress usb hard drive
   /bin/mount /mnt/usbdrive
# set up what to do when you remove the drive
   echo -e '#!/bin/sh\n/bin/umount /mnt/usbdrive' > $REMOVER
   chmod a+x $REMOVER
   ;;
esac
In my system i didn't have /usr/sbin/bin/updfstab whether this is
required??. I am using montavista linux 2.6.10.

waiting for your help.
Thanks and regards
deepak

Hi,
   can you please help me in automounting the usb mass storage device
using  udev.Just give me how to start. I am not getting the idea how
to start.

  I am using montavista 2.6.10 kernel and I am not using the xserver.

Thanks and Regards
Deepak

I would suggest using a newer kernel, as that one is very old and
contains numerous security problems...

Anyway, just have udev run a script that mounts the device when it sees
a storage device, it should only be a few lines of shell script to do
it.

good luck,

Re: problem while automounting the usb mass storage

[Deepak Katagade]

Hi All,
  I am using udev-058 to automount the usbmass storage device.In the
udev script when the device is detected  i am running an application
through RUN += which will mount the device.This will work fine for the
mass storage devices .But in case of usb dvd writer if the media is
present inside the writer and then if we plug the writer the udev will
mount the device.Suppose if I put media after plugging the writer in
that case the device will not be mounted.How to solve this
problem.Anothe thing to note I am not using the hal daemon.
Please can you help me solving this problem.
Thanks and regards
Deepak

Use HAL :)

Seriously, that's what that tool is for.  Look at how HAL and
gnome-volume-manager handle mounting of media.  There is nothing that
udev can do to help out here, sorry.

You also might want to upgrade your version of udev, that is quite old.

good luck,

greg k-h
