Their is not /mnt/usbdisk dir. It gets created automagically by |
| 23 |
hal/ivman/dbus. There is only /mnt/usb . |
| 24 |
Both devices work automagically with hal/ivman/dbus, they just do not work |
| 25 |
together. Here is the relevant portions of the current fstab: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
| 28 |
none /proc proc defaults 0 0 |
| 29 |
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Sure, I can put manual entries in to fix this, but, isn't that what |
| 32 |
udev and hal/ivman/dbus are support to do, automagically? Every time |
| 33 |
I want to use 2 usb memory sticks on any computer, my only option is |
| 34 |
to manually edit the fstab? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
When I put the devices into the computer separately, the gentoo systems |
| 37 |
recognize the devices as |
| 38 |
/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1, so why can the /media/usbxxxxx entries be |
| 39 |
created without manual edit of /etc/fstab. After all, isn't this what |
| 40 |
udev + hal/ivman/dbus are suppose to do? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
confused? |
