Upon inserting a USB stick or similar device, mdev will run
an automounter script that mounts valid partitions on
/media/<device>. The script first checks /etc/fstab entries
so that mounting on UUID or LABEL or using custom mount options
is still possible. If /etc/fstab does not contain particular
mount options, the script will create (and remove) the mountpoint
automatically.
The script also supports full disk partitions (devices without
partition table).
Thanks for this, but can this script be put into a separate recipe to
make
it even easier for people who don't want it, or want their own version?
The
prior art here is the udev
automounting script which is in udev-extraconf.
...
I didn't try but what happens in mdev if the script does not exists? I
mean keep mdev.conf as is (ready for use) and move the script to
another package which can be installed or not.
I just tried, removed the script and inserted a stick. It still created
/dev/sda and /dev/sda1 so it seems nothing really bad will happen then.
On the satellite settop boxes, /media is a 64k tmpfs mount. This is because
when a mount fails, the box may end up writing a TV recording to wherever
/media happens to be. It that's flash or a big tmpfs, the box will commit
suicide in mere seconds by either filling the flash or eating up the
precious RAM. And for some things, the box really needs a big tmpfs, so just
reducing the volatiles' sizes wasn't an option.
Nice 'solution' to avoid a more serious problem :-D
Well, it got rid of tons of "check if this and that" code in the recorder code
which occasionally would still be fooled into recording onto flash or RAM.
Having said that, if this is blocking, I'll do a s./media./run/media.g on
the file, getting this mainlined has higher priority.
I prefer to have it behaving as udev as much as possible, by default.
However, the script could source a defaults file (if it exists) to
change the mounting point for example and allow for those special
systems to be handle without forking.
Yeah, something like "MDEV_AUTOMOUNT_ROOT=/media" in /etc/default/mdev should
do the trick.
