Autofs works for USB. It does not appear to be a part of Trustix but I was able to install 4.1.4 from sources with no problems. (configure; make; make install) They don't provide an autofs package but they do provide the kernel module to support it. If you have not used autofs before, the idea is that when you touch a directory that is managed by the automounter, it checks to see if there is a device there and if there is, it mounts it. I have one of those 6 slots card readers and I use a config file called auto.misc, which has entries for each slot with the scsi id and the mount point. When I put a card in and then do "ls /misc/sm" this will trigger it to mount the "smart media" card onto /misc/sm. One caveat, USB storage devices appear as SCSI drives, and my CD burner does too, so if I boot with the card reader unplugged the device name for the CD burner changes from /dev/sdg to /dev/sda throwing everything off.
