Hello!
I have problems with usage of media kioslave in new-old kde 3.4.0. As i read,
it can use fstab to detect hardware in system, and also additional tools like
hal. I don't use hal, and rely only on manual configured /etc/fstab and udev
to mount devices by hand, with mount commands. I thought that kioslave will
work but it doesn't work, or should i say, not always.
With cds and floppy it works great, i can browse media contents and unmount it
smoothly through kicker applet, but with usb sticks it almost always don't
work (but sometimes does, i don't know why...), i can mount and unmount it
but current state is not detected by kioslave, and i can't use media:/
protocol in konqueror to use usb mass storage.
My /etc/fstab (removable media section)
/dev/dvdrw /mnt/dvd auto noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrw1 /mnt/cd auto noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users,exec,rw 0 0
/dev/usb/usbdrive /mnt/usbdrive vfat noauto,users,exec,rw
udev rule for usbdrives (/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, usb section for few
memory sticks)
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{product}="Flash Disk",
PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh sd %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%k
%c{2} %c{3} %c{4} usb/usbdrive"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{product}="USB Storage",
PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh sd %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%k
%c{2} %c{3} %c{4} usb/usbdrive"
Any suggestions why sometimes it DOES work with usb sticks and sometimes it
doesn't?
