Hi, |
2 |
I'm wondering what I need to read about and do to get a USB drive |
3 |
to auto-mount reliably at boot time? I don't know anything about udev |
4 |
so I tried what I thought used to work in my /etc/fstab file but it |
5 |
doesn't work. The drive mounts by hand just fine: |
6 |
|
7 |
MacMini linux # cat /etc/fstab | grep video |
8 |
/dev/sda1 /video ext3 auto,rw 0 2 |
9 |
MacMini linux # df |
10 |
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on |
11 |
/dev/hda4 75890040 60601600 11433376 85% / |
12 |
udev 10240 164 10076 2% /dev |
13 |
shm 257396 0 257396 0% /dev/shm |
14 |
MacMini linux # mount /dev/sda1 /video |
15 |
MacMini linux # df |

udev 10240 164 10076 2% /dev |

/dev/sda1 157566568 192068 149370520 1% /video |
21 |
MacMini linux # |
22 |
|
23 |
Must I use udev (and if so how - what do I study to make this work) |
24 |
or can I do this in fstab and I've just forgotten something simple? |
25 |
|
26 |
Also, what's the feeling these days about the reliability of |
27 |
automounting by device? Would I be better to use e2label on the |
28 |
partition? |
29 |
|

Thanks in advance, |
