That's exactly what I want. grml0.7 used to be /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 auto ..... > The implementation would be something like: > > # for label in /dev/disk/by-label/* ; mkdir /mnt/$(basename $label) hmm.... that won't work. As shown in my example. /dev/disk/by-label/ is only populated when a disk is mounted. So you didn't see the full list of my os partions. >> Now for USB pens: >> ================= > >> It should be taken care of by pmount-hal.

What are missing > therefore? :) The default behavior of the grml's udev solution for usb pens works for you but might not work for others. For example, I have 2 usb pens, one has no partition, so I can't use /mnt/external1; whereas the 2nd has 3 partitions, in which grml's solution is not enough. _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
