I am trying to unmount the usb device and make it mount only when root mount it.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 1. I disabled automounting using gconf-editor. 2. I made the /media drive with read permission even then the usb gets mounted, but the drive is not visible. 3. I black listed the usbstorage module, then it is not even attempting to find the device. Here is my requirement, I am developing an application that manages external drives. When a user plugs any usb storage, it prompts the administrator ie the server. Only the administrator can mount the device either in read mode or in write mode. I was successfull in alerting the administrator but still fails in mounting. By disabling automount and using the step 2. I can make the device cant be seen but not mount. The problem is that the device is getting mounted if i click the icon present in places>8gb drive etc. so how can i prevent mounting device even if it is clicked. -- regards Rajesh Kumar R.K _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
