BJ, I think you're on the right track, but I still don't have it working. I'll keep working on this issue and I'm checking with some others in TI to see if they can shed any light on this. I'll let you know if I make any progress. Dave

We've been trying to use udev by adding this line to fstab /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbflash auto auto,user 0 0 And also adding this to a rules a file we created in in /etc/udev/rules.d/ by the name of 99-mount.rules SUBSYSTEM=="block", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="LEXAR", RUN+="/bin/mount -a" For this line I've also tried different device types such as BUS=="usb" but still nothing. I know my fstab entry is correct because after logging in I can do a "mount -a" and the drive will get mounted. Any ideas?

I can do this manually easily enough by: mkdir /mnt/usbflash mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbflash To make this mount occur automatically, I believe that I need to use autofs to do this, but if that's wrong I'd like to know. Using autofs, here is what I did... I inserted the following into /etc/auto.master: /mnt/usbflash /etc/auto.usbflash --timeout=30 --ghost I inserted the following into /etc/auto.usbflash: usbflash -fstype=auto,sync :/dev/sda1 I then: mkdir /mnt/usbflash /etc/init.d/autofs restart and this appeared to work. But for some reason, the directory /mnt/usbflash is then deleted. And inserting the USB stick does not force an automatic mount. Any suggestions?
