Yes, you can run the mount from rc.local. Obviously you'll need to ensure that the device is attached first, so if you're using the qrexec service I suggested, make sure that's called first and completes before you attempt the mount. Just for completeness, I'll point out that you can use bind-dirs to make any file persistent within a qube - have a look at www.qubes-os.org/doc/bind-dirs/ I'm not sure how this would work with /etc/fstab - I cant check the service order at the moment - but it's something you might not be aware of. At worst you'd need an extra 'mount -a' call after bind-dirs. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
