I've followed the progress of udev and friends with interest, but as the |
| 2 |
project has matured it seems that it's become harder to do things I used |
| 3 |
to do easily. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
In particular, I used to be able to pop a CD of saved email into my CD |
| 6 |
drive and have it auto-mount on /mnt/cdrom. I have /mnt/cdrom symlinked |
| 7 |
to the proper directory for a Maildir file structure which is recognized |
| 8 |
by Evolution, so I could automatically mount last year's incoming email, |
| 9 |
for instance, as an Inbox folder in Evolution simply by inserting the CD |
| 10 |
in the drive. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
These days, CDs get mounted as /media/<volume name> which is pretty hard |
| 13 |
to script back into a Maildir struct for Evolution, since back email CDs |
| 14 |
have volume names representative of their contents - i.e. all different. |
| 15 |
Ideally, what I'd like to be able to do is have the CD auto-mounted on |
| 16 |
_both_ /media/<volume name> and /mnt/cdrom, and I've tried scripting |
| 17 |
udev rules to do this, but what I used to do no longer works. I had |
| 18 |
scripts in /etc/dev.d which worked nicely for this, but /etc/dev.d is |
| 19 |
apparently no longer supported in udev. |

Any suggestions? |
