Hello,
Been try to use autofs to mount and unmount a usb flashdrive.
I've never had to do anything at all to make this work,... I insert the USB device, wait a few seconds, and voila!
are you trying this because you can't get it to work the "normal" way, or is this simply an educational experience?
Fred
The mount point is /media
When the drive is NOT inserted, /media is empty. When Iinsert the drive, I see directories in /media that are on the usb drive but nocontent.
So, its kind working.
/etc/auto,master:
# # Sample auto.master file # This is a 'master' automounter map and it has thefollowing format: # mount-point [map-type[,format]:]map [options] # For details of the format look at auto.master(5). # /misc /etc/auto.misc # # NOTE: mounts done from a hosts map will be mounted withthe # "nosuid"and "nodev" options unless the "suid" and "dev" # optionsare explicitly given. # /net -hosts # # Include /etc/auto.master.d/*.autofs # The included files must conform to the format of thisfile. # +dir:/etc/auto.master.d # # Include central master map if it can be found using # nsswitch sources. # # Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as # above) in the included master map any keys that are the # same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes # precedence. # +auto.master
/media /etc/auto.usb
/etc/auto.usb:
usb -fstype=auto :/dev/sdb1
The particular usb drive is a REAR backup drive but Iused -fstype=auto in case it may be something different.
