Fedora :: Changing Mount Point Of Automatically Recognized Devices (IPod)
Feb 24, 2010
When I attach my ipod it gets automatically recognised and mounted to "/media/user's ipod". This is great but I would like to change the mount point to just "/media/ipod/" as it easier to use with gnupod (command driven ipod access oh yes!!) I've had a look around and I know how to mount devices but I'm at a lose as to how things in fedora are automatically mounted... I use gnome so from what I've read hal, dbus, and udev yeah? but I'm not sure what configuration files need to be changed. At the moment I'm just wanting to change the ipods mount point but I would like know more so any technical how-to or articles, or things to look at (I'm thinking X), to understand auto mounting would be nice too.

One question: should F13 mount all attached USB devices after boot automatically? I guess it should. However, what I've experienced is that after boot and login, my USB modem + flash memory is not mounted. I need to manually unplug it and plug it again, and then it's mounted

i tied to plug my ipod in just now and it says connected on the ipod but is not mounting on my ubuntu desktop or with gtkpod. i also have a g1 plugged in via usb with an 8gb mem card mounted on the phone but that wont mount on the computer either. Oddly my usb flash drive will mount. i forgot where i seen the message but it says that my ipod is blocked from being mounted. I ran mount on the commandline and it said nothing about an ipod or android phone at all. i can see the devices in /dev/disk/by-label/. And it shows iPod my g1 and my live cd. btw i am running a live cd because of my faulty hard drive

I just removed ubuntu and installed kubuntu, just for something different. i had my home and / folders partitioned separately for ease of upgrade, now during the update process i forgot to make sure the home directory would mount the right partition. for fear of loosing data, so my question is, is there any way of changing the mount point of the drive one the OS is installed.

i am trying to install new packages on ubuntu 10.04. the new packages are all on DVD's. I have loaded the DVD's as software repositories
Code:
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)]/ lucid main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
[code]....
i do so, then i get an error message from ubuntu saying that it failed to fetch several packages from the disc listed above.
when i check the mount point of the /cdrom/ it has now been changed to media/apt/ so i'm guessing synaptic is looking for media/cdrom/ but cannot find it. how do i get it to stop changing the name of the mount point and why is it doing this? could it have something to do with my modem? as i have noticed that for the first time since i have been using ubuntu (since ver 7.10, 8.04, 9.04) ubuntu 10.04 is listing my modem huawei e220 (usb hsdpa modem) as a disc drive.

i just installed the new vision of Ubuntu 11.04 , i created 3 partitions 1 for swap, the other one for / and the last one for /home, but by mistake instead of selecting /home i chose /boot, and i want to change it now, i already tried changing my FSTAB and i ended up with a corrupted Desktop when i restarted. i had to change my FSTAB using VI command here you have a copy of my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier

i am trying to prevent Gnome from automounting my NTFS partition. Gnome uses for this package gvfs-mount. This package with other small one's is respnsible for automounting USB changeable media like USB sticks. That works fine for me. But I don't want Gnome mount my NTFS partition on my internal storage device, where Debian Squeeze is installed too. Since Squeeze Gnome works with gvfs-mount to bind smb, ftp NTFS in. For binding a whole NTFS partition I am guessing Gnome use ntfs-3g as well. But I don't know exactly. Is there any possibility to adjust Gnome to automatically mount ONLY USB devices?

After the usual mild annoyances inseparable from a Fedora release (installation from the LiveCD worked OK, but generated a requirement for 162MB of day-one updates, followed by something like 150MB of downloads to install OpenOffice - which comes as standard with Ubuntu/Mint/Mandriva and, no doubt, many other distros) I have been able to get the system working reasonably well. If there are major performance gains from the use of ext4, I have been unable to detect them. However, the only really frustrating issue from my perspective has been the difficulty in getting my two printers (both of which worked straight out of the box in the other distros mentioned above) to actually print. The devices in question are a Brother 2140 laser printer and an HP 2280 multi-function inkjet.
Both of these devices were properly recognised by the system, but neither would actually print (there were some initial signs that action was imminent, but no result - the printing processes were finally shown as having been stopped). I removed both printers, and started from scratch. The laser printer could not be persuaded to work, either with the recommended 2170 driver or the old faithful 2060-gutenprint driver. However, when I tried to add the HP, the printer utility advised that I needed to install "hpijs" before proceeding. This I duly did, and the HP 2280 then worked fine. On the basis that my only aim was to get the printers working, I decided to ignore the recommended drivers for the Brother 2140, and select the "2060-hpijs" version. This worked fine, and others may like to try this workaround.

I just recently installed Fedora 11 and I notice that the network connection will not connect automatically. Basically I am trying to get to a point where it automatically connects without anyone logged in. (I hope that makes sense) Right now I have to log in as a user in order to get eth1 to connect and get an IP.

I am trying to mount /NFS as nfs mountpoint on two servers ( A & B ) having OS OEL 5. After mounting the nfs filesystem, both of them behave normally for around 10 mins and after that the NFS file handle become stale and the mountpoints dont respond. While executing df -kh, the output hang out and the /var/log/messages show the following message:
May 27 15:48:56 earth mountd[3078]: Cannot export /NFS, possibly unsupported filesystem or fsid= required
May 28 04:04:20 earth kernel: nfs: server nas not responding, still trying
May 28 10:11:51 earth kernel: nfs: server nas not responding, still trying
The fstab entries for /NFS mountpoint on both servers is :
nas:/NFS /NFS nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,nfsvers=3,timeo=600,rsize=32 768,wsize=32768,acti
meo=0 1 2
/etc/export entries on both server is :
/NFS *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)

I have created a mount point (/media/a500) for my Iconia Tablet and added the following to get it to mount automatically.
First download and install mtpfs......Then do this
Code:
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"
sudo mkdir /media/a500
sudo chown user:user /media/a500
[Code]...
This works just fine for Fedora 14 but on Fedora 15 the mount point disappears on reboot ie there is no /media/a500 folder. a500 appears under devices in Nautilus and mtpfs is ok as I can mount the device via the command line by creating the mount point setting ownership and running
Code: mtpfs /media/a500

I have set up an encrypted ext4 partition on a new external USB HDD. When I plug it in, some sequence of a daemons and scripts cheerfully puts up a dialog to ask me for my pass phrase and then creates a mount point and mounts the drive in /media. I'd like to know how to configure this process to change the name of the mount point (right now it's an unwieldy hex string), it's permissions and ownership. I'm sure this is straightforward, but I just don't what the relevant programs and files are.

I have just been gifted with a Linux dedicated server for the next six months, with an option to renew after that time has expired, and I'd like to set it up for FTP/P2P use. I do have some familiarity with Fedora from work, but only as a pre-installed desktop OS. The company providing the server has asked me to choose a OS, so of course I picked the one with which I already have some knowledge. They've also asked me to provide partition and mount point information, and it's here that I'm having some problems. I've spent most of my free time today reading everything I could about partitioning for a server, and I'm still not comfortable making this decision on my own.
The server comes with two drives - one 500GB and one 1TB, and 8GB RAM. My thinking is to use the 500GB drive for the OS, and the 1TB for media storage. I know I still have a good bit of learning to do, but I just want to get the blasted thing set up so I can get on with the hands-on part of figuring out how it works.

Using Fedora 15 64 bit. The problem is when I put in a USB stick (directly into USB port front or back), or SD memory card via Card reader, they take a long time to auto mount. About 30 seconds. I've tried a few different USB sticks and memory cards. Once mounted they work fine. This is a new install, been running for a few weeks, but the problem only seems to have started in the last few days. Also, not sure if it's related, but now Shotwell takes about 30 seconds to start. The screen comes up, but the interface in non responsive for around 30 seconds. Both USB and Shotwell problems seem to have started at the same time.

I see that there is a pcmcia rules, Do I add all modules to this list so hat it can be probed. Once pccardctl is working, how do I find the volume and mountit or set fstab to create the mount point or to have it automatically mounted in media.

How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.
This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).

====== Wireless Access Point & IP Forwarding Mini-Howto ======Use case: we have a pc (laptop, for that matter) with UBUNTU 10.04, and with wired connection to the internet. We want to connect iPod/iPhone or any other device to this laptop, and browse the internet, effectivelly turning our pc/laptop to a WI-FI access point. At this stage, we would not implement any encryption, so our network would be open to anyone.
Oour pc/laptop have 2 working interfaces, wlan0 and eth0. Device eth0 is the wired connection to the internet, device wlan0 is going to be set up as the wireless access point for the iPod/iPhone or similar gadget. We want to forward any IP traffic attached to wlan0 through to eth0. Interface eth0 can either obtain the IP addres from DHCP server on the router, or it can be fixed, it does not matter. But we definitelly need to set fixed IP address to wlan0, and configure dhcp server to listen on this interface.
===== Things to do =====
configure iptables to forward the traffic from wlan0 to eth0
setup wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces

I decided to change my DSL internet connection to cable and WiFi. So far so good, and under Windows, the system is very well working.
I use openSuse 11.1 but I can't establish contact between my computer and the new Wireless N acces point.
I have a Ralink network card, which functions under Windows.
/usr/bin/lsusb gives this result : bus 001 device 006 ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501 Wireless adapter
dmesg | less gives (amongst others !) - so my card is recognized :
usb 1-1.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=148f, idProduct=2573
usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[Code]....
The wireless access point I bought from the cable company is a D-Link Model DIR-615 which should be capable of IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. I have its MAC ID.
When in YAST, I want to make my computer hook on to my D-Link router (my new access point), I go to YAST Manage Network Wireless and I want to fill in BSSID, I get stuck.

On SUSE 11.2 when a CD or DVD is automounted (in the /media directory) it appears that the mount point chosen for the disk always has extra blanks at the end of the mount.
For example, if the label on the CD was DISK-001, the mount point chosen by SUSE is
/media/DISK-001 /
In 11.1 (and earlier) the mount point would have been
/media/DISK-001/
I'm assuming that the trailing blanks are filling in unused or blank chars at the end of the CD label.
Is there any way to change this annoying behavior? I much prefer NOT to have trailing blanks in the mount point.

I have servers installed with RHEL 4 2.6.9-89.0.9 ELsmp. I tried using uuid and label in /etc/fstab to automount usb drives to mountpoints that I specify after reboot. Unfortunately, it just does not work in all my RHEL4 servers. After every reboot, /etc/fstab will be automatically modified and all configurations related to my USB drives will be changed. Irregardless of whether i use UUID or LABEL in my /etc/fstab.However, it works on RHEL5. But, upgrading is not an option in my environment. I have been googling around looking for alternatives but everything seems to point back to using UUID or LABEL in /etc/fstab. Anyone has tried something that works? Please help me, thank you.

I'm running Lubuntu 10.04 on a Thinkpad T41. I had been running for a week before realizing that my USB devices (card reader and thumb drive) were not being recognized. I thought that the issue might be related to my aging Thinkpad but I installed the hard driveat is running Slackware and I had no issues with USB devices. I reinserted the hard drive with Lubuntu and was unable to recognize any USB devices.Has anyone else noticed this issue? If so, is there a fix for this issue?

Jaunty is fully updated but SUDDENLY is not recognizing external devices (card reader, camera, DVD inserted in drawer, etc.) In other words, I cannot see my media and, therefore, cannot open it.
Anybody else having problems here? What's up? Did something go wrong in the updates?
(AMD64 running stable Jaunty 9.10 fully updated)

after upgrading to Karmic I started having problems with ipod and banshee.I have found out this a known problem. You can check it at the banshee siteQuote:There is a known issue with iPod not being recognized by Banshee on openSUSE 11.2 and Ubuntu Karmic.mainly because of switching from HAL to device kits, as done with Ubuntu Karmic 9.10. Related bug is #586508 "Underlying distros moving from HAL to DeviceKit breaks Podsleuthslity to mount device"More details are available atAt the timehis writing a possible workaround is reported to be the following:Quote:[...]all I would have to do is disconnect the ipod andmake sure that banshee is closed. Then open up terminal and run
Code:
killall -9 nautilus
Then plug in the iPod and wait about 30 seconds, then run nautilus again by hitting Alt+F2. After I ran this and opened up banshee my iPod worked like a charm
