Re: [Astlinux-users] USB disk automount in Astlinux

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Ionel, Did you have to edit/add anything to /etc/udev/rules.d to make that work?  Puzzled.

Gonzalo, If you only wanted it to mount on startup, create /mnt/kd/rc.local and make script executable (vfat example).

-- /mnt/kd/rc.local --
#!/bin/sh

DISK="/dev/sdb1"
DISK_MP="/tmp/USB"

mkdir -p "$DISK_MP"

if [ -e "$DISK" ]; then
 mount -t vfat $DISK $DISK_MP
fi
--

Make the script executable
# chmod +x /mnt/kd/rc.local

Now, on each reboot, the USB drive will be mounted if it exists.

AstLinux does not support any automount functionally.
