crazyspongebob Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I used mdk 10.0 official and 10.1 CE. Both do a good job at automagically mounting my usb flash memory drive like window$ does. However, two days ago, I switched my box to mdk 10.1 official with a clean install. Now, the auto mounting is no longer working. I have to use harddrake to mount it. I also have to use expert mode and use options to mount for the relgular users to write to it, unlike to 10.0 and 10.1 CE. How can such a difference be between version? Do I have to enable anything like hotplug or harddrake for it this to work? I remember to turn of those two services and the automount still work in 10.0 and 10.1 CE. J.T.

adamw Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 hotplug should definitely be on. the harddrake *service* doesn't need to be on, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyspongebob Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I have tried it, but it does not work. Actually it worked for one reboot. Afterward, mdk 10.1 detects the drive as sda but does not mount it. It's a bit frustrating. J.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 open a konsole before connecting the drive, then login as root su [ + root password ] then monitor the system logs with: tail -f /var/log/messages (you can stop the monitoring by hitting ctrl-c) then connect the device. Post any output here, if necessary including /etc/fstab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
