Re: [gentoo-user] Auto-mount USB device

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Iain,

Sorry, previously I made a mistake running;
# mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk

It should be 
 # mount /dev/sda1 /media/

The USB enclosure can still be mounted.  They are there.

After plugin the device,

# cat /var/log/messages

But there was no icon displayed on gnome desktop.  Last time following your advice running `gnome-volume-manager &` 2 icons popup on desktop and the partitions of the device mounted automatically.  It only happens once.


# mount /dev/sda1 /media/
# df -h /media/
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             3.7G   72M  3.5G   3% /media/disk
* end *

# umount /media/

# mount /dev/sda2 /media/
# df -h /media/
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             2.6G   68M  2.4G   3% /media/disk
* end *


Unplug the device

# cat /var/log/messages
....
....
Oct 12 18:05:35 localhost usb 1-4: USB disconnect, address 3
*end *
