I am following the page at http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/127 on setting up autofs to work with udev, so flashdrives and card readers can be auto mounted.
(Please note, automounting humbugs are not appreciated voicing their opinion in this thread. If you want to help me out, great, but no soapboxing.) Here is the contents of /var/log/messages as the card reader, then the card are detected: Feb 9 21:47:36 localhost kernel: usb 3-3: new high speed USB device using address 4 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Vendor: SMSC Model: 223 U HS-CF Rev: 1.95 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Vendor: SMSC Model: 223 U HS-MS Rev: 1.95 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost scsi.agent[5750]: sd_mod: loaded sucessfully (for disk) Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 1 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Vendor: SMSC Model: 223 U HS-SM Rev: 1.95 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost scsi.agent[5769]: sd_mod: loaded sucessfully (for disk) Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdc at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 2 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Vendor: SMSC Model: 223 U HS-SD/MMC Rev: 1.95 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdd at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 3 Feb 9 21:47:37 localhost scsi.agent[5837]: sd_mod: loaded sucessfully (for disk) Feb 9 21:47:38 localhost scsi.agent[5818]: sd_mod: loaded sucessfully (for disk) Feb 9 21:47:38 localhost usb.agent[5850]: usb-storage: already loaded Feb 9 21:47:54 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdd: 498176 512-byte hdwr sectors(255 MB) Feb 9 21:47:54 localhost kernel: sdd: assuming Write Enabled Feb 9 21:47:54 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdd: 498176 512-byte hdwr sectors(255 MB) Feb 9 21:47:54 localhost kernel: sdd: assuming Write Enabled Feb 9 21:47:54 localhost kernel: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun3: p1 I see where it has been picked up and become /dev/sdd1. Now, I have both udev and autofs running and configured almost exactly like the page at debian-administration.org. They are just modified for my hardware. What could be going on? I thought I would see kernel messages for the connection with autofs, but /var/autofs/ does not have removable in it.
