hi list, today i wanted to attach an usb stick to my opensuse beta2 but mounting the stick was unsuccessful. as you can see in my log the system accepted the stick and knew its name. opensuse wanted to mount the stick via _-t subfs_ to /media/SWISSMEMORY. if i do that manually it says _unknown fs type - subfs_ if i mount the stick via _-t vfat_ it works! so, can i anywhere define how opensuse should mount the stick? i think it should be managed somewhere in HAL. isn't it? thanks for response. andrew Feb 1 14:33:25 edv78 klogd: Vendor: SWISSBIT Model: Victorinox Rev: 1.89 Feb 1 14:33:25 edv78 klogd: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: ready Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: SCSI device sda: 126720 512-byte hdwr sectors (65 MB) Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sda: Write Protect is off Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: SCSI device sda: 126720 512-byte hdwr sectors (65 MB) Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sda: Write Protect is off Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sda: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sda: unknown partition table Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 klogd: usb-storage: device scan complete Feb 1 14:33:27 edv78 NetworkManager: <debug info> [1138800807.372124] nm_hal_device_added (): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1370_6828_409C9647453324B2_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0').

Did you a update to Beta2 or a fresh install?
as you can see in my log the system accepted the stick and knew its name. opensuse wanted to mount the stick via _-t subfs_ to /media/SWISSMEMORY. if i do that manually it says _unknown fs type - subfs_
Subfs was dropped from the kernel and IMO also the submount package with the hal subfs mount helper.
if i mount the stick via _-t vfat_ it works!
so, can i anywhere define how opensuse should mount the stick?
There is currently no supported automount for console user on SUSE anymore. You can prevent the error if you uninstall the submount package (rpm -e submount).
i think it should be managed somewhere in HAL. isn't it?
See above. If you want a automount for console (without KDE or GNOME) open a bug and write a feature request. Cheers, Danny

did a fresh installation of beta1 and now updated to beta2.

well, the error messages above are shown in error log if i only plug in my usb stick. i was logged in the KDE session where i plugged it in. (for your interest) so, for me, there needn't be any automout in console, but as i saw that nothing had happened in KDE i looked into error log.
Cheers,
Danny
