Good morning everyone: |
| 2 |
|

I am hitting a bit of an issue here -- there are work arounds available |
| 4 |
but I would like to do it right. Here is the issue |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I use Gentoo on my laptop that I use for digital photography. When I |
| 7 |
shoot, I tend to shoot several hundred pictures at once, so I use large |
| 8 |
flash cards and a card reader (usb) to download to my computer for |
| 9 |
archiving (I archive everything). I use digikam to handle the download |
| 10 |
(I like it and that part works great) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
My current workflow is as follows |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Put flash card in reader |
| 15 |
Plug reader into usb port |
| 16 |
Wait for reader to settle |
| 17 |
Open root terminal |
| 18 |
Check dmesg for dev node for reader |
| 19 |
Mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash |
| 20 |
Do the transfer with digikam |
| 21 |
Back to root term |
| 22 |
Umount /mnt/flash |
| 23 |
Unplug reader |
| 24 |
Remove card |
| 25 |
Repeat |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
What I would like is for either the card to be automatically recognized |
| 29 |
and mounted, or at least to not have to do it via the root terminal |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Also, I do not have write access to the flash cards or to thumb drives |
| 32 |
that I may mount - even as root |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated |
