Yes, this is the most straightforward approach, for each USB MSD you can write a udev rule and a correspoding fstab entry (or automount mapping). A good resource for this is Daniel Drake's writeup at <http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html>. I did this for a long time but grew tired of having to edit conf files every time I got a new toy. Hence, the label-based automount script. > This seems like one of those problems which should have been solved a > long time ago. Gnome and KDE seem to do a pretty good job of handling this, as long as you are willing to play within the bounds of the DE world. I'm kind of a retro-grouch, so these things don't do me a whole lot of good. -- Dave Thayer | Whenever you read a good book, it's like the Denver, Colorado USA | author is right there, in the room talking to d...@thayer-boyle.com | you, which is why I don't like to read | good books. - Jack Handey "Deep Thoughts" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
