Hardware :: Automatically Mount Removable Drives In Red Hat Enterprise 5?

Aug 6, 2010

so that short description doesn't cut the mustard. Let me start by describing what I had working in RHEL4, so you know the requirements. There is a group here at my job that does a lot of data transfer to external USB drives. I leveraged fstab-sync (which we normally turn off at my work) and created a FDI policy file to search on the drives' HAL descriptors, set the mount options, and define the mount point by name (each drive is uniquely named).

The result of all this is that when the user plugged in a drive, it mounted in /media automatically, on a unique path, and with permissions so that every user could read/write to it. SO now we're upgrading to RHEL5, and fstab-sync doesn't exist any more. Instead there's gnome-mount (did I mention we use Gnome?) and I can't figure out how to get the same functionality working.

Slackware :: Create Mount Points Automatically For Removable Drives?

Jan 9, 2010

At work I use Ubuntu and one nice thing about it is that it creates mount points for removable drives automatically.

In Slackware I can set up XFCE so that it mounts drives when they are plugged in, but only if they're already specified in the fstab (which means I must have used them and set them up in advance).

This is becoming a problem now that removable usb drives of all sorts are so common.

Does anyone know where I can add mount options onto the default set?

General :: USB (Removable) Drives Not Mounting

Sep 29, 2009

I just started using openSUSE 11.1 with xfce and my problem is that I cannot mount my external USBs, I get the following message:

org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action, result).

It seems hal does not give me permission to do this. Am I able to mount using the command line? If so, how?

Ubuntu :: Removable Media Not Automatically Mounted?

May 12, 2010

I use Ubuntu 10.04, and whenever I insert media into a removable media drive, it does not come up on my desktop automatically. I need to go to Computer, then to the drive. It then appears on my desktop. Is there any way to make the device automatically appear? This problem occurs for any removable media. I am using Ubuntu 10.04.

Hardware :: Installing Live CDs On Removable Hard Drives?

Jul 30, 2010

When you run a Linux live CD it automatically detects your hardware configuration, or at least tries to. Say you got a live CD and it works perfect on one computer, detects all the hardware. If you install the operating system from the live CD to a hard drive, does it only install the drivers you need for your hardware?

If so, say you were to hypothetically do that on a removable hard drive that you lock and unlock with the hardware keys; would that mean if you want to move the drive from one computer to another regularly, the OS would not be configured properly on a different hardware configuration, and wouldn't be able to configure itself properly because it is now on a hard drive? I know that Linux does try to detect new hardware each time it boots, but I guess the short version of the question is: Does installing a distribution on a live CD to a hard drive mean you will not have all the drivers available on the CD?

This is not something I am sure I will ever plan to do, but it would be no different than if you wanted to swap your drive into a new computer. If it could at least still connect to the Internet it might try to reconfigure itself. If installing the live CD means you get absolutely all the contents on the CD, that would answer my question. Maybe someone might know exactly how that would work.

Ubuntu :: Automatically Mounting Removable Devices When Plugged In

May 26, 2009

I want the following behavior in kubuntu 9.04 when I plug a device (USB stick or CD disk):

1. It should be mounted automatically for me. Now it isn't, though it appears in fdisk -l output: Code: Disk /dev/sdd: 8006 MB, 8006926336 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 30544 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x9b12d290
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 * 16 30544 7815232 b W95 FAT32 and if I mount it manually, all goes OK

2. If I mount manually my CD disk and then press the eject button on my drive nothing happens until I manually unmount the drive. But I want it to open immediately

All this worked for me in kubuntu 8.10, and broke with the upgrade.
My fstab entries Code: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/usb vfat noexec,codepage=866,utf8,nosuid,nodev,quiet,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,user 0 0

Ubuntu Installation :: Unabling Autorun Without Removable Drives And Media Option?

Jan 10, 2010

I've just partitioned my hard drive with GParted so that I have space to install and run Windows OS based programmes such as Monkey Island (wine simply won't work) and other PC games. I have the Windows XP SP2 Installation CD but my OS (Intrepid Ibex) won't allow me to autorun the CD and proceed to installation.

Now having hunted around the net little, it seems the answer is System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media. Problem is, I don't have a Removable Drives and Media option on this menu. Is there a workaround for this? E.g., is there a way of using the Terminal to enable autorun, or is there another way I can do this?As I'm pretty new to this thing, feel free to use short words and detailed explanations.

Ubuntu :: Can't Mount Removable Media: "failed To Execute Child Process Exo-mount"

May 18, 2011

I just upgraded Xubuntu from 10.04 LTS to 11.04 and I am no longer able to mount removable media from the "places" menu. The message I get:

"Failed to execute child process exo-mount (No such file or directory)"

I assume some wrapper process is attempting to execute a program called "exo-mount," but no such program exists anywhere in the repositories, according to a search with apt-file. The "exo-utils" package used to contain exo-mount, but the program no longer exists in that package.

Mounting from within Thunar works fine.

OpenSUSE :: System No Longer Responds To Removable Media Such As Flash Drives And Insertions Of DVD/CD Disks?

May 20, 2010

Through some recent update, which one I am not sure, my system no longer responds to removable media such as flash drives and insertions of DVD/CD disks. Whereas before, for instance, if I inserted a USB flash drive, the "Device Notifier" would pop up, tell me that a new device had been detected, and ask me what I wanted to do with it, now nothing. "My Computer" (sysinfo:/)does not update either. The kernel knows the device is there, since I can see it when I do "lsusb". OpenSuSE x86_64 11.2.

Debian :: Automatic Mount Of Removable Devices

Oct 27, 2015

I use Debian 8.2 without DE. I can mount removable devices (USB sticks, external HDDs) manually using mount/umount to specific folders under /mnt or /media. But I want them mount automatically when plugged-in as /media/disk-label. Also I want to be able safely remove already mounted devices without data loss.As I understand, I need to create custom UDEV rule and associate it with mount/umount scripts. E.g. mount script

Code: Select all#!/bin/sh

mount_point=$ID_FS_LABEL
if [ -z $mount_point ]; then
    mount_point=${DEVNAME##*/}
fi
# retrieve gid of the plugdev group and set it as owner of mountpoint
plugdev_gid="$(grep plugdev /etc/group|cut -f3 -d:)"
if [ -z $plugdev_gid ]; then
   
[code]....

Is this safe and correct approach or it is better to use something else?

Fedora :: Mount Removable Media From Command Line

Jul 6, 2010

I'm using Fedora 12, and I want to mount/unmount my USB memory stick from the command line. I know I could edit /etc/fstab and so on, but I want to emulate what happens when you mount using the GUI (I use KDE and the device notifier), that is, I want to be able to do this as an unprivileged user and not have to know the mount point exists in advance.

I'm sure in older versions of Fedora there was a command something like `gnome-user-mount' which let me do this knowing only the filesystem label... What is the current equivalent?

General :: Cifs Mount On A Windows XP Removable Drive?

Mar 16, 2011

I have 2 USB drives connected to an XP machine that I rotate twice a month for backups. On my CentOS box, I have that drive mounted at /home/backup using cifs.

Because the drive is mounted on the Linux box, Windows XP complains when I try to "Safely Remove Hardware". As a result, I have to "umount /home/backup", then "Safely Remove Hardware". After connecting the new drive, I then have to "mount /home/backup" in order to use it again on the Linux box.

Now, this question may be a Windows XP question, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do on the Linux box first. Is there anything that can be done on either end, so that I won't have to "umount /home/backup" first?

General :: Setup Fstab To Automatically Mount NTFS Partitions - GUI To Set The Mount Permissions?

Feb 10, 2010

I am trying to setup fstab to automatically mount my NTFS partitions. I have used various Mount managers to create the entries in fstab. The fstab seems fine, but when mounting at boot or even via Nautilus I get the error message that I do not have permission to mount the disk.

1) Can this permission be set in the fstab file? If so what is the syntax of the fstab entry?

2) If not, is there a tool i.e. GUI to set the mount permissions?

Ubuntu :: Is Grub2 Automatically Installed In All RAID Drives Using Alternate CD

Jun 27, 2010

I am going to setup a new Ubuntu 10.04 using RAID 1 soon. Installation will be via the alternate CD. Older distributions required manually installing Grub to the second drive, to boot if the first drive fails. I found different statements about how this is handled since 9.10.e.g.

Quote:

Install GRUB boot-loader on second drive (this step is not need if you use Ubuntu 9.10)

or

Quote:

installing GRUB to second hard drive depending on your distribution

> grub-install /dev/md0
or
> grub-install /dev/sda
> grub-install /dev/sdb

is Grub2 automatically installed in all RAID drives using alternate CD 10.04 like executing sort of "grub-nstall /dev/md0" during the installation ?
