I fixed an error in ~ /etc/ivman/IvmConfigBase.xml and ivman now automounts usb-sticks and creates appropriate links in /media. However there are still some unreliabilities:- #######results of mount command on ivman mounted usb sticks#### a) Inserted single stick, single fat partition /dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=0,gid=0,umask=007,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,iocharset=iso8859-1) b1) Inserted second stick, fat (FIRST) partition /dev/sdd1 on /media/sdd1 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1002,gid=107,umask=007,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,iocharset=iso8859-1) b2) Inserted second stick, ext2 (SECOND) partition /dev/sdd2 on /media/sdd2 type ext2 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,errors=continue) i) If a single stick with two partitions (first fat second ext2) is inserted. only the last partition is mounted, AND the files and directories are not displayed. ii) If a single stick with a single partition is inserted, it is mounted but no files/directories are displayed. iii) If a second stick is inserted all partitions are mounted and displayed. However the first partition appears to be mounted by root -see a) above. And write acess by normal user appears to be only available on fat partitions although ext2 was mounted r/w. suggested configurations in ivman and hal to solve these poblems will be appreciated sincerely lux-integ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
