Well, RTFM ;-).
Ok, the package provides documentation in /usr/doc/amd and there are
examples in /usr/doc/examples/amd. There are things both in doc and in
examples that refer specially to auto-mounting removable media. There is
even a program that umounts and ejects cd's. The new maintainer Roman
Hodek has really been hard-working - Wham Bam, Tank You Ma'm!
Amd uses so called mount maps. The excerpt from my one that tells amd
how to handle my cdrom-drive reads (location: /etc/amd/amd.server):
I) [snip]
cdrom type:=ufs;dev:=/dev/scd0;opts:=type:=iso9660,conv=auto,ro;
[snip]
Further, there is a file /etc/amd.master. Mine reads:
II) -a /amd -x noinfo -r -c 5 /etc/amd/amd.server
Now, you can do a 'cd /mnt_amd/cdrom' and the cd gets mounted at
/mnt_amd/cdrom. After not being accessed for more than 5 seconds it gets
unmounted automatically. In detail:
II) o '/etc/amd/amd.server' is the mount map of which I) shows an
excerpt
o '/mnt_amd' is the place where the devices get mounted
o '-c 5' tells amd to keep idle mounts for 5 seconds
o the rest is from the amd.master template provided with the package
I) o 'cdrom' means the cdrom-drive gets mounted under /mnt_amd/cdrom
o 'type:=ufs' means it's a unix file system, i. e. the kernel knows
what to do with it
o 'dev:=/dev/scd0' tells amd to mount th first scsi-cdrom
o 'opts:=type:=iso9660' tells the kernel exactly which fs-type to
use
o 'conv=auto,ro' mounts read only and unmounts when idle (not sure
about the last one)
First Note: If you don't want to wait 5 seconds for the unmount, you can
diminish the repsective parameter or you can use the included
eject-program (and e. g. bind it to a button in FVwmButtons or the
like). This unmounts and ejects your cd with one mouse click.
Second Note: If things don't work as you expect you perhaps really
should have a look at the manuals. Amd is in fact very powerful and can
do a lot of very sophisticated things to your file system structure. On
the other hand this means that things are sometimes a little more tricky
than they should.
