Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Currently I am rebuilding a shiny new Gentoo-system on another |
| 4 |
harddisk "from scratch". |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I think my "old" system have some retro designs and obsoleted |
| 7 |
mechanisms, because they still work for me and I was too busy |
| 8 |
with other things, whih quit to work ;) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
My old system uses: |
| 11 |
- Autofs: for conveniently haveing access directories which mounts |
| 12 |
things like external harddiscs, usb-sticks, mp3-player, my digicam |
| 13 |
and such. |
| 14 |
(No, I DONT like "real" automounters" which tries to mount in |
| 15 |
that moment, when a device is plugged in. Using the moment of |
| 16 |
access to a specific directory as trigger for the mount comand |
| 17 |
is the way to go (at least for me ;) ...BUT: only my two cent...) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
- Encfs to encrypt partitions AND to be able to burn the encoded |
| 20 |
stuff on DVD and mount and use the DVD instead of the partition. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
My system will be a one-user-desktop system and I will be root and |
| 23 |
the user. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I prefer a system, which works and does exactly what told over a |
| 26 |
system which tries to guess my thoughts ... and will fail therefore. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Is there anything better, less old or preferable according to both |
| 29 |
mechanisms mentioned above? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Best regards and thank a lot for any help in advance! |
