Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] can usbmount auto-mount USB drives?

[Tim Moody]

found docs, but 

 

on my fedora 22 nuc usb does not automount even though found and usbmount is 
enabled and configured for vfat file system

 

when I remove, even after umount I get unable to read boot sector to mark fs as 
dirty

 

I have tried two drives and both exhibit the same behavior even though both 
mount on win7 and automount on f20 (albeit with a complaint about the dirty bit)

 

dmesg:

#

# WARNING!  #

#   #

# The "sync" option may not be a good choice to use with flash drives, as   #

# it forces a greater amount of writing operating on the drive. This makes  #

# the writing speed considerably lower and also leads to a faster wear out  #

# of the disk.  #

#   #

# If you omit it, don't forget to use the command "sync" to synchronize the #

# data on your disk before removing the drive or you may experience data#

# loss. #

#   #

# It is highly recommended that you use the pumount command (as a regular   #

# user) before unplugging the device. It makes calling the "sync" command   #

# and mounting with the sync option unnecessary---this is similar to other  #

# operating system's "safely disconnect the device" option. #

#

# Mount options: Options passed to the mount command with the -o flag.

# See the warning above regarding removing "sync" from the options.

MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime"

 

# Filesystem type specific mount options: This variable contains a space

# separated list of strings, each which the form "-fstype=TYPE,OPTIONS".

#

# If a filesystem with a type listed here is mounted, the corresponding

# options are appended to those specificed in the MOUNTOPTIONS variable.

#

# For example, "-fstype=vfat,gid=floppy,dmask=0007,fmask=0117" would add

# the options "gid=floppy,dmask=0007,fmask=0117" when a vfat filesystem

# is mounted.

FS_MOUNTOPTIONS=""

 

# If set to "yes", more information will be logged via the syslog

# facility.

If I mount manually I get

What's the best way to arrange for a teacher's USB drive to be auto-mounted, so 
that her/his content is "instantly" displayed on a school server during that 
hour's lesson, completely hassle-free?
