From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Gary_Lerhaupt@Dell.com Date: Wed, 08 Jan 2003 20:18:23 +0000 Subject: storage automount & devlabel Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org I've added automount functionality to devlabel. Turns out it was an additional 5 lines of code. In any case, when you hotplug your device, if devlabel finds your symlink in an entry in /etc/fstab, it will run a mount on the mountpoint listed for that symlink. The latest version (0.26.02) is available at http://domsch.com/linux/devlabel So, here's what you do: 1. Install devlabel 2. Hotplug storage 3. `devlabel add -s /dev/mysymlink -d /dev/sdX1` 4. Edit /etc/fstab and add an entry pointing /dev/mysymlink to some mount point 5. Un-Hotplug storage >From then on, when you hotplug your storage, it will automatically get mounted as specified in /etc/fstab. **Note that I've removed the agent hotplug scripts from the tarball install script. If you have never installed devlabel before, you'll have to manually patch your agent hotplug scripts so that devlabel will run after a hotplug event occurs** Gary Lerhaupt Linux Development Dell Computer Corporation ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
