ktchinn 0 Posted November 24, 2004 I am able to mount my USB flash drive but I have to enter the line in the etc/fstab everytime, make the directory in the mnt directory, then the mount command. Is there a way to have this automatically done when I plug the USB drive in? It is a Lexar 256MB flash drive. If not is there a way that at least I can get the diretory and line in the etc/fstab to stay in there? Typeing the mount command is a minor thing as long as I do not have to go through the whole process every time. Thanks. Share this post Link to post
matttah 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Yessir there is!!! Alrighty! here is what ya gotta do. Make the directory where youw ant to have the drive mounted to...for me i have it /usb. now /usb has to be empty! Ok next nano(or your favorite editor) /etc/fstab. Do this then, I use sdb because i have one sata drive. /dev/sdb1 /usb auto noauto,user 0 0 you cna just type mount /usb and bam it mounts=) now you can probably switch it to be auto mounted by switching noauto to auto, but i am not completely sure. Then just save the fstab! and bam its all good! the users allows you to mount it as a non-root user, but the user must be int he users group=) Daum Share this post Link to post
