Package: usbmount
Version: 0.0.14.1
Usbmount properly mounts and unmounts USB memory sticks when they are
plugged in or off during the runtime of the system. However, in all
my trials it failed to mount the same USB memory sticks when
they are already plugged in at the time the computer is started
(power-on, cold start).
To cure this deficiency I have written a short init script which
should be executed after starting the system (/etc/rcS.d).
----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
##
## /etc/init.d/usbdrives-coldplug.sh

## Automatically mount USB drives after a cold start.
## This script mounts all partitions of USB drives which
## have already been recognized by the kernel AND by udevd,
## but are not yet mounted.
devlinks=`ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/usb-*-part[0-9] | awk '{print $(NF)}'`
for devlink in ${devlinks:q}; do
## 'readlink -mn' finds the real name of a symbolic link
export DEVNAME=`readlink -mn /dev/disk/by-id/${devlink:q}`
## /usr/share/usbmount/usbmount is a hidden command included in the usbmount
package
/usr/share/usbmount/usbmount add
done
----------------------------------------------------------
This script should be stored as '/etc/init.d/usbdrives-coldplug.sh' and
then sym-liked to /etc/rcS.d:
ln -s '../init.d/usbdrives-coldplug.sh' /etc/rcS.d/S37usbdrives-coldplug.sh
