udev will create the device files but not mount the device (at least not
in our configuration.. I haven't got much into udev and suspect it of
taking a lot of processing power on boot so plan to remove it).
We have custom hotplug scripts to mount the device,
/etc/hotplug/block.agent
you get a load of environment variables and some command line arguments
to determine what to do.
hope that helps

Subject: USB flash auto-mounting
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has definitively solved the issue of
having a USB flash
drive automatically mount to the file system when it is
inserted?
To do this manually is quite simple:
mkdir /media/usbflash
mount -t vfat /dev/uba1 /media/usbflash
I wish to make this mount occur automatically every time the
stick is plugged in.
I did check .config to see if "CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y": it is.
In /etc/fstab I put the following line:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
but it is not sufficient.
Tanks a lot
Gabriele
An update on the situation, I?ve gotten the usb flash drive
automounting, but only if I have it plugged in to the unit
during
bootup. I can?t get it to automount using hotplug or anything
else.
The way I have my fstab and udev mounting happening is the
following:
udev/rules.d/99-mount.rules :
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="JD FIREFLY", KERNEL=="sd?1",
NAME="lexar",
SYMLINK="usbdevices/lexar", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/mountlexar.sh"
fstab:
/dev/sda1 /media/LEXAR vfat
rw,nodiratime,sync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,fmask=0033,dmask=0033 0 0
I think I may have moved around the initialization scripts
within /etc/rc.d/rcS.d to make the mountall script run after all
the
udev stuff but I can't quite remember. I tried lots of things
before
this one finally worked. Good luck, and if i manage to figure
out the
hotplug mounting I'll be sure to post it.
I did check .config to see if "CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y": it is.
Checking /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is a good idea: it contains
"/sbin/udevsend", which is what I would expect to see.
And also, the udevd daemon is indeed running.
