Unfortunately, running the mount from rc.local doesn't seem to work (nothing gets mounted and I don't know why). I'm using a persistent attach for an AppVM. After adding "sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable" to /rw/config/rc.local, I shut down the AppVM, and then start Terminal. After the AppVM starts up, I see that the mount didn't happen. Any tips on diagnosing this? I didn't see the word "mount" in journalctl.

At worst you'd need an extra 'mount -a' call after bind-dirs. This is an interesting idea. I didn't know you could persist custom things. I guess the worry here is if /etc/fstab is an autogenerated file. Personally, I'd like to keep things simple and get the rc.local mount working, but I'll keep bind-dirs in mind for other things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

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.

[qubes-users] How do you automount /dev/xvdi in AppVMs?
How do you automount /dev/xvdi in AppVMs? In a typical OS, this is done by modifying /etc/fstab. With Qubes OS AppVMs, /etc/fstab is not preserved between reboots. Should I modify the TemplateVM's /etc/fstab? Should I add "mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable" to the AppVM's /rw/config/rc.local? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
