[Gumstix-users] vfat kernel module

[Luke <pu...@fa...>]

Hi there,

Following on the previous set of emails about CF card, where should I put the following command 
such that it gets executed automatically without me typing it every time I want to subsequently 
mount a CF card?



echo vfat >> /etc/filesystems


Is the above suggested method any better than what I currently do to mount my CF(see below)??

Thanks
Luca

-------------------------------------------------------------
create the file
	/etc/init.d/S95mount_cf

make it executable
	chmod +x S95mount_cf

content of S95mount_cf follows

-------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
#
# mount the CF card (if possible)
#
start() {
        echo "Mounting CF..."
        /sbin/modprobe ide-disk
        /sbin/modprobe pcmcia
        /bin/sleep 10
        /bin/mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf
        cd /mnt/cf
        if [ -f bootrc ]; then
                ./bootrc
        fi
}
stop() {
        echo -n "unmounting CF..."
        /bin/umount /mnt/cf
}
restart() {
        stop
        start
}
case "$1" in
  start)
        start
        ;;
  stop)
        stop
        ;;
  restart|reload)
        restart
        ;;
  *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac
exit $?
