REAL newbie question here:It seems posts on mounting fall into two categories: "How can I get my drives to mount automatically?" and "I hate supermount, how do I get rid of it?"!
Is there any way to get removable media to work in Linux the way it does in the Windows/Mac world?
It kinda bugs me that I have to unmount the cdrom just to eject it. Case in point, if I accidentally hit the eject button on my laptop, nothing happens, and the disc is no longer accessable through Linux unless I reboot. WTF? Isn't there some automounting feature that will take care of this? What about Supermount? What IS that, anyway?
I'm sorry to rant, but I'm just blown away by the fact that some sort of automounting isn't already built-in. If anyone knows some options for me, give 'em to me. I'm eager to learn here...
The easy way to get your removable media to work automatically is to go to the Control Center then click Mount Points and the medium you want (floppy or CD drive). Click Options then check the Supermount mox and uncheck the User box.
If that doesn't work (and it usually does) you need to edit your /etc/fstab file - see recent postings on this.
