similar to: Usb flashdisks automount by all users?

This is just a minor annoyance, but I wondered if anyone has any insights. When I first boot the system and log in to Gnome, and then plug in e.g. a USB stick or compact flash card, I get an icon for it on the desktop. I can right-click on this icon to "eject" the filesystem, etc. Eventually, though, for no obvious reason, this stops working and I no longer get an icon when I insert a

Hi im trying to configure centos to run as a dhcpd daemon but it simply doesnt work I'm using the default configuration file from dhcdp (and tried multiple alternatives). problem is that pxe clients do not aquire dhcp addresses in the log i can see that there are 3 or 4 dhcp offers per boot atempt but no dhcp requests anyone? i'm going crazy here... .i've tryed 3 diferent

To this point, whenever I've plugged a storage device (flash drive, mp3 player) into a USB plug, it's magically mounted and I get an icon on my desktop. I've just got a card reader and it doesn't automount. I can mount it manually with "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/temp" and that works fine. I would prefer to have it automount and give me the desktop icon. Unfortunately, I

rsync'ing from NFS automounted /home directories does not appear to work as expected. Initially it automounts all the home directories, and copies the tree. However, when I run the same command a second time, it deletes all the files for with the /home directory happened to be unmounted. Some more details: Using 'ypmatch -k auto.home', I generate a list of /home/ directories to

I'm posting here before going through all the fun to do up a real bug report to see if anyone else has seen this behavior. I have two identical Dynex external USB3 drive enclosures with identical 3TB drives in each enclosure. The dmesg output shows: $ dmesg |grep TOSHIBA [ 59.942546] scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access TOSHIBA DT01ACA300 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 [ 86.301123] scsi 8:0:0:0:

Does Automount/autofs automagically run e2fsck? If so, how does one disable this? We have an external USB connected 2TB hard drive setup to automount. Sometimes e2fsck gets fired up, I think from Automount. I have this line in the automount config: /backupdisk -fstype=ext3,nocheck :LABEL=BACKUP I believe this should prevent Automount from running e2fsck, but it still runs it. (We

In brief: Is there is anyway to trigger the same automount mechanism, that X appears to use, on unmounted USB drives that are already connected? Background: I've got a C6 server with default desktop GUI installed for the sake of the onsite admin. There is a bash script I wrote that runs every night checking for specific folders on any drive and dumps data into it. To ensure fs integrity, I

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to make automount do its job when nobody is logged at the console and the user access the server by VNC. Does anybody knows how to make CentOS automount USB Hard Drives / Pendrive when accessed by VNC? Thanks! Guy Boisvert, ing IngTegration inc.

Environment: HP-UX 10.20 Samba 1.9.18p10 ; compiled with -DAUTOMOUNT option. We are using our samba server to mount various automounted directories including user's home. auto.home map takes care of mounting user's home automagically but for other directories, I have to put a share name for each of them (and there are hundreds of them). Is it possible to define one share name (like

Hi Guy, I'm curious if you found a solution to the headless automount problem on centos? I'm running into a similar problem, though I am not using VNC. My machine is simply headless, with only network and power supplied, and I'm trying to trigger a bash script to run when a new device is added (like USB, DVD, CDROM, etc) using a custom udev rule. Automount seems to only work

Hi, all Until recently, we were running Samba 1.9.18p7 in a Solaris 2.6 environment. We configured our environment with configure --with-nisplus --with-automount. With that configuration, we were able to allow multiple machines within our workgroup to act as windows 95 logon servers. Because everthing was automounted. No matter which machine a person gained access to, it provided them with the

Hi, I am using 5.1, Until yesterday morning when we had a power cut for 9 hours [no proper UPS], the automount of USB drives worked properly. Now when I connect any USB drive [hard drives & USB sticks], they show up in dmesg, and they are being properly recognized, but I have to mount them by hand. Any suggestion? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

I have a server with no desktop - just cli that i need to have a user plug in a usb hd and would like it to automount to a consistent directory so I can schedule a backup. The user can rotate the usb drives and it all just works. Any ideas how automate so that say /media/backup mounts to any usb harddrive and unmounts cleanly? -thx bazooka

I'm needing a strategy to accomplish the following: We have AD, with Server for NIS working on the DC. I've got NIS successfully working for login - or at least the client starts to login and then complains about a lack of home dir, which is fine for now. Each AD user has a directory on a fileserver, and I'd like these to be automounted as the home directory. The share path to a
