lrsach01 Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I recently purchased a Memorex Compact Flash reader for our lab workgroup. Its primarily used for moving data from one computer to the next (Internet connections at this university cost $1200 to activate and are $500-600 a month for maintainence). Anyway, I prefer using linux at work and was happy to find the reader works easily in Mandrake 9.0. My question is this: is there any way to speed up the "recognition" of the reader once a card is plugged in? On the windows computers (running win2000) the CF cards are accessed in seconds while my Mandrake box takes a few minutes to "kick in." Any help or ideas?

mtweidmann Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I use a compact flash reader, and I prefer to mount it manually. I added an extra line to fstab, then whenever I want to access it I just run: su <psw> mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat noauto,umask=007,gid=500,codepage=850 0 0 Its called camera because thats what I use it for. You could also set up an icon on your desktop to do it if you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
