I have acquired a Seagate ST31600261-RK 160GB USB drive.
It is billed as a "Pushbutton Backup External Hard Drive". (..well
pushbutton perhaps in Windoze...).
/sbin/lsusb shows it appearing as /dev/sdc1 and by adding the following
to my /etc/fstab file
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/seagate vfat rw
I can mount it, logged in as root, using
mount /mnt/seagate
It does NOT "automount" like my USB thumb drives and USB printers
automount.
What needs to be configured to get this to work in a similar fashion? I
assume that it will involve /etc/udev (given the recent discussion here)
and perhaps hal, and the manufacturer and device code from lsusb.
If someone can give me some starters on what to research then if/when I
get it to work I will submit an enhancement request to get this device
added so the next person can benefit.
?
Thanks for any input,
~~R
