No, there *is* an entry for this in /etc/fstab. But I would like
to get away from this because:
I have some plugin devices that are vfat partitions and some are
Linux partitions. Having dedicated fstab entries means that I
cannot just insert whichever device whenever as the fstab entry
for /dev/sda1 may be set up for a vfat partition, and if I plug
in a linux partitioned device as the first USB device, it probably
wouldn't mount (though I haven't tried this).
Bottom line is that I cannot get hotplug events, nor fstab-sync
to work properly.
Any suggestions?
/dev/sda1 /mnt/mp3 auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0
Works for me, whatever the filesystem on the USB device. Works for mp3 players,
Sony PSP, digital camera, USB portable hard drive etc. No need for HAL or DBUS,
just click on the computer icon in the Nautilus taskbar then click on the icon
you want (in this case mp3). The only thing my kids haven't got the hang of yet
is remembering to right click and `Unmount Volume' before they unplug it...it
means they have to reboot if they want to plug it in again.
