I tried it myself once a couple of years ago and I just couldn't get it to work reliably. I admin several FreeBSD servers and all kinds of stuff you might expect to run on it: mail services, web services, ftp, database etc, and I don't think I'm particularily stupid when it comes to installing/configuring open source software. However, I just couldn't grasp the concepts behind this automounting stuff. Finally, when I quit trying to understand it and just blindly followed the article to the letter, I got it working somehow, but there were still issues (the details of which I've forgotten by now).

Automount USB disk in FreeBSD with KDE?
Hello all. As a frequently usb disk user, I really want to make things easier and more comfortable for me to mount the usb disk whenever I need to use it. After doing some stuff, now I can mount it as a general user (not root) and use only one instruction like "mount /mnt/usb"; and umount it using "umount /mnt/usb". But I still want more convenient^_^ I wish it can work like Windows, say when I plug the usb disk, system autodectect it and mount it and either show an icon in system tray or show it on desktop; when I finish the job, I can just click the icon and select "remove safely" and the disk is auto unmounted. That is all I want. I am using FreeBSD5.4 + KDE3.4.2. It seems that linux user can do this smoothly, but it has some stuff to do with the linux kernel, right? So i can't just use linux's solution. Any ideas? I appreciate any kind of suggestions. Thanks! -- Best Regards.
