storage automount & devlabel

storage automount & devlabel

[Gary_Lerhaupt]

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**

RE: storage automount & devlabel

update:

I made automount its own option so devlabel didn't start attempting to
automount things it shouldn't (like swap partitions).  So, now the syntax
is:

devlabel add -s /dev/mysymlink -d /dev/sdX1 --automount
