Good morning everyone: I am hitting a bit of an issue here -- there are work arounds available but I would like to do it right. Here is the issue
I use Gentoo on my laptop that I use for digital photography. When I shoot, I tend to shoot several hundred pictures at once, so I use large flash cards and a card reader (usb) to download to my computer for archiving (I archive everything). I use digikam to handle the download (I like it and that part works great) My current workflow is as follows Put flash card in reader Plug reader into usb port Wait for reader to settle Open root terminal Check dmesg for dev node for reader Mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash Do the transfer with digikam Back to root term Umount /mnt/flash Unplug reader Remove card Repeat What I would like is for either the card to be automatically recognized and mounted, or at least to not have to do it via the root terminal Also, I do not have write access to the flash cards or to thumb drives that I may mount - even as root Any suggestions are greatly appreciated Timothy A.
