Re: Camera and USB stick together

["Jim Christiansen" <christiansen_j@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pasha,  Thank you.  But how do the entrys in /etc/updfstab.conf.default 
correlate with sda1 or sdb1 assignments.  I think that what happens is if 
the stick was set in fstab to /dev/sda1, then removed and the camera was the 
only thing plugged in, the camera becomes sda1, not the stick and things get 
wonky.

I've added the Cruzer stick to the set:

device diskonkey {
   partition 0
   match   hd diskOnKey
   match   hd "Lexar DIGITAL FILM"
   match   hd "Cruzer Mini"
}

And it does work, but how can the scsii devices be locked to each piece of 
hardware so that fstab works?

Thanks again, Jim

take a look at /etc/updfstab.conf.default. you may need to add entries
for your camera and USB stick to that file - after that the
corresponding fstab entries and mount points will be added automatically
upon device insertion and all you will have to do is to double click
icon on the desktop.
