Hello,
I have used Debian for over a decade and can work most things out. But
I have a problem.
I use a usb memory card to take a rsync backup of my most important
files every day. This used to work perfectly.
I recently upgraded from etch to lenny. After ironing out some wrinkles
I am left with one insoluble problem:
The usb memory card is always auto mounted with group ownership of root
at the mount point. This stops me from refreshing the cards contents.
In etch ownership after auomount would be chris:perry This is as
expected and worked fine.
In lenny ownership after automount is chris:root This is the problem.
My primary group is still perry, btw.
I have googled and searched far and wide, I cannot find posts that
describe adequately how hal and then udev get themselves sorted and
apply some action to perform the mount. I cannot work out where the
action is defined in the system config. I cannot work anything out,
I've not been so stumped in a long time.
I have determined the following work-around to use after automount has
completed:
umount /media/TOSHIBA
mkdir /media/TOSHIBA
mount -t vfat -o
rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000,gid=1004 /dev/sdc1
/media/TOSHIBA
I am not able to determine the output of mount for the same device in
etch. My backup etch partition has passed on.
If someone can point me at the right doco, or desribe how this works, I
would appreciate it.
Thanks and regards,
Chris.
