I have the following in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/storage-policy.fdi to have them automounted async. !-- Use noatime and async options for all hotpluggable or removable volumes smaller than 2GB -- match key=volume.size compare_lt=2147483648 match key=@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable bool=true merge key=volume.policy.mount_option.sync type=boolfalse/merge merge key=volume.policy.mount_option.noatime type=booltrue/merge /match match key=@block.storage_device:storage.removable bool=true merge key=volume.policy.mount_option.sync type=boolfalse/merge merge key=volume.policy.mount_option.noatime type=booltrue/merge /match /match -- Neil Bothwick The perceived world; 1) mine, 2) yours. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Do portable, cheap USB-stick ogg players exist? Check out the flash players from iRiver. They play ogg, mp3, and wav, and with the proper firmware are accessible as a USB device. The headphones that come with them are a little bit uncomfortable, but good enough quality that I could tell the difference between ~140k ogg and ~90k ogg. (I always use VBR, so those are average rates.) They seem to have discontinued ogg support on their HD based players, so be careful that the flash player you purchase does support ogg.

I have a mp3/wmv only flash player I received as a gift but I'd like to upgrade it with a 1-gb thing ogg-capable, if possible. I'll look at iRiver.

Also, files can be deleted and loaded from linux even with the stock firmware. I'm a bit confused. Is the flash player recognized as a simple usb flash drive or what? The stock firmware does not show up as a USB block device under either Windows or Linux. There is an official USB firmware that you can download and install that makes it act like a standard USB block device under both operating systems. This has the side effect of rendering the (Windows-only) software they provide for managing the device unusable, but you don't really need it anymore since it's just DnD to load and unload the thing. They don't really publicize the USB firmware; in fact, I had to download it from a non-US site. I think it might has something to do with the draconian US copyright laws or pressure from the RIAA, but I don't really know. Personally, I ended up installing a modified firmware that extends the range of OGG playback and voice recording bitrates. It's a modified version of the USB firmware, so I got access to the device as a USB block device for free. Going back to the stock firmware -- there's a linux utility that provides command-line features roughly equivalent to the (Windows-only) software they provide to manipulate the device. So, you'll be able to load/delete files from Linux and Windows no matter what firmware you are using. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpotemLZlFZV.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] USB sync/async mount
I think you have to add the sync option if you want sync. place a comma after user and then sync (no quotes, no spaces) I am pretty sure the mount command, with no parameters, will tell you what options are in force, and there will probably be some info about that in proc too.
