Leaving aside the autofs as such, you might want to take a look
at the /etc/autofs/special_media shell script.  It contains code
to obtain a list of devices available for mounting, which works
with all kinds of devices, without any special cases, and properly
handles problems like "should I mount the whole device, like da0,
or is it partitioned and I should attempt to mount partitions
instead, like da0p1".  You can just run it by hand and see what
output it produces.

It is possible to add correct line to /etc/fstab provided that you know
path device file in advance. For example, I have this for my dual-boot
FreeBSD 10.2/Windows 8.1 home system:

/dev/raid/r0s2 /mnt/c fuse 
ro,failok,late,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g,windows_names,streams_interface=windows,umask=022,inherit,noatime,show_sys_files

Never tried to do automount for USB, though. I just have "/dev/da0s1 /flash 
msdosfs rw,noauto,..."
in my /etc/fstab and do "mount /flash" as needed, manually.

Note that you can easily hook it up to autofs: just uncomment
the "-noauto" map in /etc/auto_master, enable autofs, and "cd"
into /flash.

Thanks, all! Especially to Lars and Edward Tomasz who actually understood
my request (which was probably less clear than it should have been) and
provided the exact incantation required!

I use devd to auto mount USB NTFS, I just it works with 10.2-RELEASE
& an NTFS USB connected drive, here's a chunk from my

http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/src/jhs/etc/devd/berklix.conf

   action  "sleep 10; \
 rm -f /devusb/acer300; \
 ln -s /dev/`echo $device-name|sed -e s/umass/da/`s1 \
/devusb/acer300.1; \
 ln -s /dev/`echo $device-name|sed -e s/umass/da/`s2 \
/devusb/acer300.2; \
 ln -s /dev/`echo $device-name|sed -e s/umass/da/`s3 \
/devusb/acer300.3; \
 mkdir -p /media/acer300.2; mkdir -p /media/acer300.3; \
 chmod 777 /media/acer300.*; \
 chown jhs:staff /media/acer300.*; \
 ntfsfix /devusb/acer300.2 ; \
 ntfs-3g -o ro /devusb/acer300.2 /media/acer300.2;  \
 ntfsfix /devusb/acer300.3 ; \
 ntfs-3g -o ro /devusb/acer300.3 /media/acer300.3" ;

Now I'll read man 8 automount & other people's alternate solutions
on the thread :-)

RE: Auto-mounting USB NTFS formatted devices on FreeBSD 10.2 and HEAD

[Andrzej Bylicki]

Hello,

I mounted all of my NTFS formatted drives via fuse from the
sysutils/fusefs-ntfs port. I am not entirely sure, but assuming that it is
possible to automate the mounting procedure by adding the correct line to
/etc/fstab.

Hope this helps :).

Best regards,
Andy

Auto-mounting USB NTFS formatted devices on FreeBSD 10.2 and HEAD

[Kevin Oberman]

Since the removal of NTFS support, it is unclear how to get USB drives
formatted as NTFS (or ExFAT) to automatically mount. Prior to FreeBSD 10 it
was possible to replace /sbin/mount_ntfs with a script that would generate
appropriate options and exec /usr/local/sbin/ntfs-3g and let HAL fire up
mount_ntfs, but that no longer works as mount_ntfs is no longer used and
mount(8) no longer treats '-t ntfs' as special.

It would appear that automount(8) would be the right magic, but it's not
obvious to me how to configure it to recognize that an NTFS device has been
connected to a USB port (as opposed to msdosfs) and to use ntfs-3g to do
the actual mount. I assume that the same issue exists for ExFAT.

Does anyone have an idea of what magic is required in the auto_master or
elsewhere to make this work in conjunction with devd? I'd really like to
avid using hald, if possible.
