@@ -84,6 +84,20 @@ Q: How will udev handle devices found before init runs? A: udev will be placed in initramfs and run for every device that is found. Work to get this implemented is still underway. +Q: Can I use udev to automount a USB device when I connect it? +A: Technically, yes, but udev is not intended for this. Projects that do + automount hotplugged storage devices are: + * Usb-mount http://users.actrix.co.nz/michael/usbmount.html + * devlabel http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#devlabel + + Alternatively, it is easy to add the following to fstab: + /udev/pendrive /pendrive vfat user,noauto 0 0 + + This means that users can access the device with: + $ mount /pendrive + And don't have to be root but will get full permissions on /pendrive. + This works even without udev if /udev/pendrive is replaced by /dev/sda1 + Q: I have other questions about udev, where do I ask them? A: The linux-hotplug-devel mailing list is the proper place for it. The address for it is linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net |
