I have a small question.
Why is the procedure of creating a mount point, mounting the device etc
fully automatic when I connect my digital camera?? what is different?
kudzu and updfstab handle auto-mounting of devices.
Unfortunately, they don't automatically mount everything that is a USB storage device.
Instead they mount devices that mentioned in
"/etc/updfstab.conf" and "/etc/updfstab.conf.default"
First find out the description as reported by kudzu, this is what is used to match
in the updfstab.conf files.
`kudzu -s -p -c HD`
Note the description ("desc:") that is listed for the USB device (usually sda).
Copy the flash section out of "/etc/updfstab.conf.default" into "/etc/updfstab.conf" and add a match for the description.
device flash {
partition 1
match hd CompactFlash
match hd ImageMate
match hd Flash
match hd JumpDrive
match hd MuVo
match hd ClipDrive
match hd "Generic Traveling Disk"
match hd "Jungsoft NEXDISK"
match hd "Memory Key"
match hd IntelligentStick
match hd UniquePartOfYourDescription
}
Once this works submit a bug to Redhat so that your description can get into the next update.
Then, next time, it will "just work".
