[Server-devel] [XSCE] can usbmount auto-mount USB drives?

Fri Oct 16 10:10:01 EDT 2015

found docs, but 

on my fedora 22 nuc usb does not automount even though found and usbmount is enabled and configured for vfat file system

when I remove, even after umount I get unable to read boot sector to mark fs as dirty

I have tried two drives and both exhibit the same behavior even though both mount on win7 and automount on f20 (albeit with a complaint about the dirty bit)

dmesg:

# WARNING!                                                                  #

# The "sync" option may not be a good choice to use with flash drives, as   #

# it forces a greater amount of writing operating on the drive. This makes  #

# the writing speed considerably lower and also leads to a faster wear out  #

# of the disk.                                                              #

#                                                                           #

# If you omit it, don't forget to use the command "sync" to synchronize the #

# data on your disk before removing the drive or you may experience data    #

# loss.                                                                     #

# It is highly recommended that you use the pumount command (as a regular   #

# user) before unplugging the device. It makes calling the "sync" command   #

# and mounting with the sync option unnecessary---this is similar to other  #

# operating system's "safely disconnect the device" option.                 #

#############################################################################

# Mount options: Options passed to the mount command with the -o flag.

MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime"

# Filesystem type specific mount options: This variable contains a space

# separated list of strings, each which the form "-fstype=TYPE,OPTIONS".

#

# If a filesystem with a type listed here is mounted, the corresponding

# options are appended to those specificed in the MOUNTOPTIONS variable.

#

# For example, "-fstype=vfat,gid=floppy,dmask=0007,fmask=0117" would add

# the options "gid=floppy,dmask=0007,fmask=0117" when a vfat filesystem

# is mounted.

FS_MOUNTOPTIONS=""

# If set to "yes", more information will be logged via the syslog

If I mount manually I get

/dev/sdb1 on /media/usb0 type vfat (rw,relatime,sync,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)

Subject: [XSCE] can usbmount auto-mount USB drives?

What's the best way to arrange for a teacher's USB drive to be auto-mounted, so that her/his content is "instantly" displayed on a school server during that hour's lesson, completely hassle-free?

<timm> ok, I give up.  how do I substitute a process to run when a usb drive gets mounted, presumably with usbmount?
<timm> am I modifying /etc/usbmount/mount.d/01_create_label_symlink
<timm> or creating an 02_...
