Package: usbmount Version: 0.0.19.1 Severity: wishlist
I've recently run into a situation that doesn't seem sovlable by existing Debian packages. I have a few USB flash drives with known UUID's (although if you don't know to use the blkid command it can be difficult to find the UUID), and sometimes they are already in the machine on boot up, and sometimes they are absent and might be plugged in after the machine has booted. If I put an entry in /etc/fstab, I can specify the mount point, but if I specify that fsck be run on the USB drive by a non-zero value in the last column of /etc/fstab, fsck returns an error if the USB drive is absent, and the boot process stops. I would like to be able to get the USB flash drive mounted after an fsck if the drive is present at start-up, and mounted with an optional fsck if the drive is plugged in after the machine has finished booting. Could usbmount do this in a future version?
