Here's my problem, maybe someone can help. I have a usb media reader than handles smartmedia, compact flash, etc. It works fine in the sense of being able to put media into it and mount the media, using the usb-storage module, and copy files off the media. The devices look like scsi disk drives, as expected with the use of usb-storage.
It would be ideal to be able to use autofs to mount these drives, as I do for my dvd and cdrw drives, so I added the appropriate entries into auto.mount, the control file for my /mount automount directory. It looks like this: # Automount map file # 6/4/02 nl # #format: # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location dvd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,exec,user :/dev/dvd cdrw -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,exec,user :/dev/cdrw floppy -fstype=vfat,nosuid,noauto,user,nodev,unhide :/dev/floppy cf -fstype=vfat,ro,nosuid,noauto,user :/dev/cf sm -fstype=vfat,ro,nosuid,noauto,user :/dev/sm /dev/cf and /dev/sm are symlinks to /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1. The media cards automount all right, but the protections on the directories created by autofs is rwxr--r--, which means I cannot cd into or list the files in subdirectories on the media unless I become root, which is not ideal. And that's the problem. I don't have this problem with automounted cd's or dvd's - the protection mask for those is rwxr-xr-x, so all works fine. Is there something I should have done in the auto.mount file? Is this something about the way the cf and sm cards work (they are formatted in a digital camera, so I don't really have any control over how various bits are set in the filesystem. Any thoughts/help appreciated. Thanks. nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
