Hi,
I have an e-sata disk connected to my laptop, to store data I don't always need when I'm not at the office. What is the most convenient way to mount that device's partitions ? For the moment I log in as root and mount it manually. I'm studying autofs to simplify things. Are there other ways ?
Using udev is another option. Actually I would expect some support (in opensuse) for that already - removable media are not exactly uncommon.
Hi Per,
According to the manual of the drive e-sata is not plug-and-play. The computer must be shut down to add or remove the drive.
Sorry, I assumed it was hot-plug. Nonetheless, udev will help you with this - when the device is present, udev can auto-mount it for you. You may have to write a udev rule yourself though - I can't think of a standard configuration that works with a non-hotplug disk that may or may not be there. Maybe someone else knows? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
