Hate to ask questions unless I'm really stuck. What can I say really stuck again.
Trying to automount my cdrom and a USB Key but it does not seem to work. One thing that I should say to start is that my LFS system was instlalled using LFS6.3 and I'm now working using BLFS6.2 which was the latest one when I downloaded things. My auto.master file is as specified in the BLFS Chapter 3: > # Begin /etc/auto.master > > /media /etc/auto.misc > > # End /etc/auto.master I should perhaps say that I couldn'd load the BLFS Automount wiki page mentioned in the book. That link seems to be empty and I can't find any other relevant info. I've changed the cd line in /etc/auto.misc as my cd's device file is /dev/cdrom1 and added a line for a USB Key: > #cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom1 > cdrom -fstype=iso9660 :/dev/cdrom1 > mds_disk -fstype=vfat :/dev/mds_disk I commented out the line with nosuid and nodev as I decided I'd try with limited options. Both the above commands, well the equlivents, work from the command line mount -v -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom1 cdrom mount -v -t vfat /dev/mds_disk mds_disk On system boot I can see the line: Automounting /media but nothing appears in /var/log/sys.log The automount process is running but /media is totally empty. Thanks for any advice. John -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
