Hi Brian, usbmount does this (apart from different behaviour for different devices). To set up: - Install the usbmount package. - Modify/add lines in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf: FILESYSTEMS="ext2 ext3 vfat" MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime" FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="-fstype=vfat,flush,gid=plugdev,dmask=0002,fmask=0113" - Add user(s) to plugdev group. - Load kernel modules: sudo modprobe usb-storage sudo modprobe sd_mod (and add them to /etc/modules) When you plug in a device it will appear as /media/usb (linked to mount point /media/usb0). A second device would be mounted as /media/usb1 etc. To unmount, I run sync then pull the device. I think the sync command is probably unnecessary given the flush mount option, but I do it anyway out of caution. There's no GUI, which I count as an advantage. -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
