I really need some help here udevhotplugusbusbmount etc etc. 2034

Linux Utilisateur

Right. Reason I am posting from windows, is thats the current console onto a headless server. I am TRYING to move to Linux, but the lack of documentation and the snotty comments make it hard to do.

Secondly. the reason I need to reboot, is that power sometimes goes down. I like to have a working system after it comes up. Having to manually modprobe the system to reinstall a driver is not my idea of a working system.

Thirdly, although by editingetc-modules I can reboot, plug the camera in, and see it appear indev-sda1 and I am now back to the stage where I can manually mount the camera, that is NOT good enough for my wife, who knows nothing of *nix, and needs to be able to simply plug the camera in, switch it on, and drag the pictures off over a netatalk connected appletalk exported directory. She can do this if I manually mount the thing.

So the question, Michael, remains. How do I set it up to automatically mount the camera on a defined mount point. And unmount it when its unplugged again?

Your choice from HAL-USBMOUNT-HOTPLUG-UDEV-PMOUNT-AUTOMOUNT would be gratefully accepted, since none of them appear to have done a damn thing in this system apart from corrupt the manual mount process by removing a kernel driver permanently till I overrode whatever it is that loads kernel modules and told it to load usb-storage..

Hrdawrae is irrelevant in this case. That level is working.

Its the tangle of automounting solutions that seem to have been written. each one replacing the previous..Ive copied every single 'This worked for me' solution off every google search that I can find, and still nothing works.

It's a debian 2.6 kernel if that's any use.

Would I be right in supposing that no one who has yet responded has actually ever got a hot plugged USB device to mount automatically on being plugged in to a defined mount point?

And those who accuse others of trolling are, in fact, trolling themselves?
