[Fluxbox-users] automount usbpen

[Massimo Canonico]

Hi all,
I've always added to my /etc/fstab file the following line in order to
mount usbpen and sdcard:

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbpen vfat
noauto,noatime,user 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbpen2 vfat
noauto,noatime,user 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard auto
noauto,noatime,user 0 0

I am wondering if fluxbox is able to automount usbpen and if yes, how
can I set it up?

I'm using a fedora 23.

Thanks,
Massimo

It's not a fluxbox thing, but you can try autofs:

dnf install autofs
# put lines like this in /etc/auto.misc:
usbpen --fstype=auto :/dev/sdb1

# then
systemctl enable autofs
systemctl restart autofs
ls /misc/usbpen

# soft links help with tab-completion on the command line:
ln -s /misc/usbpen /mnt/usbpen
ls /mnt/usbpen

I'm sure there are more modern desktoppy ways to do it, but that works well
for me.


Cheers


Bob

I'm using autofs for everything I know (included usb known devices).
To me it's cleaner, lighter and it not only automounts, it also auto
unmounts, :-) So no rival when you know what you're mounting. It
plays nice not just with usb devices, also does a great thing with
gphotofs, sshfs, gdrivefs and others...

For things I don't know beforehand, neither the partitioning scheme, I
use udiskie with udisks2 (also dunst). It's written in python, but
it's light and fast enough for me. It provides a system tray which
comes in handy to unmount and explore devices.
