similar to: Automount of USB drives

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.

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

Hello, This is user MichaelConvey. I would like to add a section under TipsAndTricks/Filesystem Tips called "Configuring Automount in Gnome for USB Drives". The content will include something like the following: 1) yum install gconf-editor 2) In gnome, go to Applications/System Tools/Configuration Editor 3) In the graphical editor, in the left window, go to

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

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

dear all, I configured Xfce on an Centos6 minimal install, I think its very fast, even on al 512Mb machine. But I don't have any clue how to make a usb automount on this. Anybody can help me with this? greetings, James -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen johan.vermeulen at cawdekempen.be 0479.82.01.41 Opensource Software is the future.

Hello, The question below is based on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-users/2012- August/004509.html Thanks in advance for any help with the following question, including pointing me to some other info resource if needed. I have a user with an Xubuntu 12.04.1 laptop, 32-bit. He needs to use a USB hard disk drive which has 2 partitions: the 1st partition is NTFS and the 2nd

I may have asked about this before, but I can't find any records of so doing in my saved mail (which includes almost everything I ever read or write): All of a sudden, I am not getting flash drives automatically mounted in CentOS 5.3 with GNOME - they are recognized by the hardware, but there seems to be a (new?) problem with the maps. Here's the tail end of dmesg: usb 1-10: new high

This is probably a dumb question, but I've looked around and I can't find anything on this. I'm using ntfs-3g now, from rpmforge, to access my M$ Window$ disks for offline backup and other such menial tasks, and I noticed that the ntfs file systems are not mounted automatically, but I have to mount them manually as ntfs-3g devices. I _thought_ when I installed the whole dkms-fuse and

Most of the time, if I plug a USB drive into my computer, gnome/centos/whatever will ask me what I want to do with it. With a Hitachi Lifestudio, all the partitions mount without asking me. How do I stop that behavior? My suspicion is that the same kind of mechanism is what makes candy drops work. So far as I know, my backup drive is not candy, but I would still like to be able to control my

hi, I'm not sure if this is the right list. my client is sharing a folder via samba (/export) In that folder there is a automount-entry for my usbstick (/export/usbstick) On another host i can mount the export with mount.smbfs As soon as I access the stick (so automount gets active) i cannot umount the share. Get error: device is busy (automount timeout is set to 2sec.) When i never access

Running latest CentOS 7.5. Since I found out about automount unit files I've had mixed results using them to mount shares from my NAS. Lately they seem to hang if I touch the mount point, but I can start the mount unit without problems. I had it working months ago, so I'm thinking something changed in the systemd updates. For each mount point, I have two files in /etc/systemd/system

I'm running Samba with automount to automatically mount CDs in a server. These CDs need to be changed periodically, so I wanted to use automount so that they could be changed by the users fairly easily. We use logon scripts to map the CDs to drive letters when users logon. Unfortunately, it seems that having a drive mapped is treated like the drive is being used, so as long as there is

Hi! My /var/log/messages files are being filled up with the following error...

I have a brand new, unaltered (as yet) 4Gb USB flash drive from Micro Center that does not get automounted when I plug it into my 5.2 desktop (home or work). It shows up in lsusb, and I can mount it manually, so why would it not mount automatically? Note that when I plug in other flash drives on the same machine before and after, they all get automounted as usual. Curious.... mhr

Alle, I'm following the instructions in section 19.3.3.2 of the docs @ http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-nfs-config-autofs-LDAP.html, but I cannot add the following entry in LDAP: dn: automountMapName=auto.home,dc=subaru,dc=nao,dc=ac,dc=jp objectClass: top objectClass: automountMap automountMapName: auto.home After looking at the schemas in /etc/openldap/schema,

Hi all, Not sure how to start but I have an automount map tripping as soon as automount starts. I've no services that use that mount point and am baffeled as to why its mounted. When I remove the map entry fro that mount point, I get complaints in / var/log/messages from automount about the missing mount point. Any ideas how I can finds what's causing the mount? Thanks in
