 |
|
This is one of the problems, several users have to fight with...no i'm one of them:
I used udev to configure my iPod and USB Harddrive and everything works fine. It's just that while booting, i get the message:
| Quote: | | mount: dev/storage already mounted or /mnt/storage budy |
I tried the command from here, but then all my mounts are gone. When i mount them manually back with | Code: | | mkdir /mnt/storage + mount /dev/storage /mnt/storage |
everything is fine again...till the next reboot!
Here is my etc/fstab:
| Quote: | /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda6 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ipod /mnt/ipod vfat async,noatime,nodev,nosuid,user,rw 0 0
/dev/storage /mnt/storage ext3 async,noatime,nodev,nosuid,user,rw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
What can i do? I need my backup files!
P.S..: Also tried the noapic command but without success! |

I don't have an ipod, but some other external usb devices. I use udev and submount for these devices.
My entry in fstab for my Zen Nano Plus:
| Code: |
/dev/zen1 /mnt/zen subfs defaults,user,gid=100,umask=007 0 0
|
For this to work you need to emerge sys-fs/submount.
This creates a kernel module which you should ensure that it is loaded at boot time. On my system it works very well. Whenever I plug in one of my usb devices they're automatically mounted to the directory I want.

out of interest, on mine, when I insert a usb stick, or flash drive, it also responds with placing the icon also comes up on the desktop,
with the popup type window offering to open it or do nothing. The submount package is not installed.
I experimented with this some time ago.
Remembering the usb stick has 2 memory portions the fstab entry is
| Code: |
/dev/sda /media/usbdisk1 vfat user,exec,noauto,utf8,noatime,sync,managed 0 0
/dev/sdb /media/usbdisk vfat user,exec,noauto,utf8,noatime,sync,managed 0 0
|
It is perhaps another route to the same place.
