Running freeBSD 4.9. I have a 4-in-1 pcmcia flash memory reader from
CompUSA, and managed to get it to work with my laptop. I have been playing
around with it and found this page:
http://www.daemonnews.org/200202/automounting.html
Automounting is new to me, so I tried following the steps; I got all the
way through step 2, 'configuring mount', so I can now just type:
mount /camera
and it will mount the card. (Called it camera for my own personal
reference.) So this is in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/ad8s1 /camera msdos rw,noauto 0 0
Now, trying to get through step 3, configuring automount. I followed the
instructions to add these to my rc.conf:
portmap_enable=YES
amd_enable=YES
amd_flags="-a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map"
Created the /.amd_mnt directory, and added this to my amd.map:
localhost/cameratype:=program;fs:=/camera;\
mount:="/sbin/mount mount /camera";\
unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /camera"
But according to the page, it seems it should work after this; it does,
however, not. I have a symlink that I can't remove that is:
/host/localhost/camera --> /camera
But accessing either directory does not result in the card being automounted.
I don't have an amd.conf. Should I, and if so, what should be in it?
