I want to mount usb pendrive when plugged usb.My kernel doesn't support hotplug.I know making entry in fstab will mount at boot time ,but not when plug in.Is there any other way to do it except udev?
View 1 RepliesI upgraded to F15 and now my Plextor DVD PX-712A drive will not mount.My CD-ROM will mount fine.My optical drives kept auto closing right after opening, but I did find a solution in this fourm to that problem which was editing the sysctl.conf file.But like I mentioned I cannot get any DVD rom to mount properly. I have used disk manager and I can see the DVD drive listed.I have told disk manager to mount the DVD but I still cannot find it in Dolphin.Also, a strange problem is that in Disk Manager trying to speed test any of my optical drives fails, it says that the transfer rate is too slow to measure.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've installed Fedora 10 short time after it came out. Now I am having some problems unmounting thes drives on restart or shutdown. It hangs at the stage of 'unmounting file system'. I've looked into this matter and discovered that those drives are automatically mounted and shown on the Gnome file browser. As the /etc/fstab indicates, it is not mounted by it. I must have done something to have all the hard drives shown in the file browser and now Fedora seems to be unable to unmount them.

I'm using rsync and crontab to do automatic backups from my /home partition on /dev/sda to my backup drive /dev/sdb3. The backup partition is ext4.
But the backup partition (sdb3) is obviously on a secondary drive, and I want to automount it when I log in. I read that you have to edit /etc/fstab to do this, but I'm not familiar with the process and can't find clear enough instructions, so I was wondering if someone could give me the command I need and maybe explain how it works?
I used to know how to access and rw other linux drives and do the fstab magic. For some reason I've lost my touch. I just want the drive to automount and have full access. I don't need a beginners tutorial on mkdir and fdisk -l. Is there a foolproof way to get my drives to do what I want? I dual boot fedora and ubuntu, but have the same issues on both.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I insert a dvd into the drive, it's not automounting but cd's and usb stick drives automount just fine. I'm using 11.2. Any suggestions? Should I dig up the old mount command and do it manually?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running opensuse 11.2 with gnome. When I plug in a USB disk. It automatically mounts those partitions that it recognizes. I'd rather it didn't. It creates icons on the desktop although I've managed to stop it opening a file manager window for each partition.But how do I stop the mounting altogether? I've looked in the menus, yast, gnome control centre and sysconfig editor but haven't found anything. And google hasn't given me any clues.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI saw an earlier thread on this but I'm still stymied.Running 11.3 x86-64. If I insert a cd/dvd into the drive, the drive is not mounted.I can mount the drive manually and the drive then works - just no automount. Tried with CD, DVD, both data and music formats - no go.A sandbox installation on the box works as expected so it's not hardware.I tried deleting the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules file, rebooted -no change. USB devices automount just fine and a Virtualbox WinXP session with pass-through to the device works just fine.
I can't find any differences between the setup on the 2 installations so it's time to holler for HELP!! I'm about out of hair to tear out.
Question for you all. I am trying to get my system so that when I insert USB drives they don't auto mount, and when I click on them in the filemanger they only mount read only. I am halfway there, as when I have used "gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount --type bool false" to prevent the automounting. So thats working great.However it looks like for the mounting of drives in read only mode it used to be (around 2008 or so) that this command would work "gconftool-2 --type list --list-type=string --set /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options "[ro]"" However, it appears that at some point that was removed and no longer works.
Any idea on how I can get this to work? I just want to be able to click on the non-mounted USB device and when nautilus mounts it have it get mounted "ro" not "rw". Ideas?
How do I stop automounting USB devices in Fedora 11?I have put the following in a file under /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/01-stop.fdi. I have even put a copy in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/. Nothing works.

I have researched this for a couple of days and I am not getting anywhere. My Fedora 12 install is working just fine with the standard gnome desktop. I can plug in any usb drive and it is recognized and mounted with a link on the desktop. But I want to use Fluxbox. I installed and am running FB just fine except that I can't get usb devices to be recognized and mounted.I don't need a link on the desktop but an entry in /media would be nice.
I am thoroughly confused about which method I should be using to do this simple task. I created a HAL policy for my trackpad to work. Do I need to do something similar for the usb? I have read about udev rules but they seem to be concerned with NOT mounting usb devices. I also read about autofs and thunar but it seems like there should be a much simpler approach and I have certainly missed it.
When I insert a CD, the system no longer offers to automount it and CDs no longer show up in the list of disks on the left side of Dolphin windows. USB keys still work properly and I can still manually mount CDs through the command line? Was there some tweak to the HAL rules that disabled CD/DVD automounting and is there any way to fix this?

I have F9 on a laptop that dual boots with WinXP.When i log in and the desktop shows that the NTFS partition is mounted with a shortcut on the desktop. Is there a way to make it not automount? Trivial inconvenience, but i thought i'd ask anyway.
View 6 Replies View RelatedEven with ivmount killed, my external devices are auto-mounted (under the names of disk, disk-1, disk-2 etc in /media). This would be fine, however I always have to re-mount the drives as by default they are autmounted as read-only no matter their filesystem. Could I have another daemon automounting my drives, and if so, how do I identify it?
I do not have the gnome-desktop environment installed, but instead run Fluxbox with Rox pinboard and filer. I hated having to manually mount drives from the command line, so I installed a certain package (which I forgotten the name of) which is probably culprit. Now I know how to setup pmount, ivman and rox-pinboard to work together.
Debian Squeeze AMD64
When I log into gnome all my other partitions are automatically mounted under /media, but when I log into kde, they are not. I would rather that they not be automatically mounted. How do I change this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running a Debian squeeze system on AMD64, and with recent aptitude safe-upgrade the automounting of gnome/nautilus broke. Now if you click on a usbdrive it give this error: "Unable to mount 'volumelabel' Not Authorized".Previous it automatically mounted it, making/removing mount points as needed in /media, or you could mount by clicking on the drive icon in nautilus. (It varied a bit with package updates, but i didn't worry too much)Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong? I'm lost where to start, and systems nautilus or gnome-volume-manager use to mount things.

I have squeeze with gnome (gdm3) desktop.How to disable any kind of device automounting in gnome?
View 6 Replies View RelatedBefore I leave with a bad taste in my mouth forever from the linux communities here, I'd like to ask one more question. I've been snooping around a bit about this issue of how to automount USB Drives, have them show on the desktop in file managers like PCManFM and not have to touch fstab at all.
How do I do this? Without touching Fstab, GNOME, any other DE. I only want openbox around.Another question I also hope to answer: How do I make shortcuts in PCManFM?
I have a Canon 450D which only supports PTP mode, not USB mass storage mode. When I connect it, it gets automounted and I can browse it with Nautilus. However, when it is mounted for browsing, gThumb cannot access it.To import the photos using gThumb, I have to manually unmount it from Nautilus.Is there a way I can prevent this camera from being automounted? I don't want to disable all USB automounting, because I also use various USB flash disks which I want to be automounted.

I notice that in 11.2 that USB drives are not automounted anymore. There is a notification that a device is found, but I have to actually click on the notification and choose to open it with dolphin. If I do nothing, the drive is never mounted. I remember from 10.3 that it would automount the drive and put a icon on the desktop. Is there anyway to duplicate this in 11.2?
