This assumes hotplugging is working (as it should be in Fedora)
Plug in the device and look at the files /proc/scsi/usb-storage-?/?
These contain the names of USB devices that are plugged in.
Now edit /etc/updfstab.conf
Add the entry:
device diskonkey
partition 1
symlink true
match hd "xxxx"
}
xxxx should be replaced with a string from the "Product" field of
/proc/scsi/usb-storage-?/? (in my experience, although it isn't quite
documented anywhere).
The partition entry often gets awkward devices to work. If it doesn't work,
try removing it or changing the partition number.
Make sure you have created a directory /mnt/diskonkey
Now when you plug in a device whose name matches, a symbolic link will be
created automatically from /dev/diskonkey to /dev/sd??, and a matching
entry will appear in fstab. You can then mount the device by typing
mount /mnt/diskonkey
or if you prefer you can set up a shortcut on whatever desktop you use.
Hope that helps!
