Does anyone use udev and autofs? If so how did you get it to work?
I have the following in /etc/auto.misc
cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,sync,nodev,nosuid :/dev/hdc udfcdrom -fstype=udf,ro,sync,nodev,nosuid :/dev/hdc floppy -fstype=vfat,sync,nodev,nosuid :/dev/fd0 usbpen -fstype=vfat,sync,nodev,nosuid :/dev/sda1
If I load the modules for say my cdrom (ide-cd) then
cd /mnt/cdrom
works as expected and the cdrom is mounted. But if the module hasn't been loaded then this fails
bash: cd: /mnt/cdrom: No such file or directory
because the device /dev/hdc does not exist yet and neither hotplug nor udev creates it.
Is there away around this without adding the modules to /etc/modules?
Hi Michael,
normally if you insert a CD a corresponding pci hotplug event should be generated and hotplug should load the right module. Check out the logfiles when inserting a CD.
On a side note:
Forget about autofs and install gnome-volume-manager. It does all what you want and a lot more. Despite its name it also works flawlessly under KDE and every other DE. Just try it. Check project utopia for more information about this.
