It seems as though there's a couple of different way to support automounting |
| 2 |
drives and shares and I was wondering what you guys thought was the best |
| 3 |
method. |

Currently, I'm using autofs to handle all my personal needs for cds, dvd |
| 6 |
compact cards and an occasional usb stick or two. No problems and I'm a happy |
| 7 |
camper. |

However, what I'm getting ready to do is to deploy a number of kde/gentoo |
| 10 |
desktops that will need to automount an occasional data cd or cf card and I |
| 11 |
was looking for an easier way of managing it all. What I'd rather do is |
| 12 |
discover a broader approach for supporting plugable media, without having be |
| 13 |
be present to "set it all up" as in autofs. The mentioned desktops aren't all |
| 14 |
going to have the same hardware... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Anyway, I've looked into using hal,dbus and "media:/" in konqueror... It works |
| 17 |
to a degree, but the hal daemon has a nasty habit of polling the cd |
| 18 |
card/pcmcia to such a degree that autofs won't unmount the then when you're |
| 19 |
done... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Using a udev only approach is a lot like working/seting up autofs... you gotta |
| 22 |
be there to support something new when it comes up... Not what I want. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Has anyone figured out a reasonable approach for auto mount/unmount for |
| 25 |
removeable media that's as "hands off" as possible? |
| 26 |

Thanks, in advance. |

What I find with autofs, hal constantly polls any cf card that I plugin and |
| 33 |
subsequently does not auto-unmout |
