-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mounting to Static Mount Points
Applies to: SUSE LINUX 9.3
You do not like the automatic mounting of CDs, DVDs, or USB sticks to mount
points corresponding to the label of the removable medium, which is performed
by default with submount/subfs and HAL since 9.3 ... you prefer to mount to a
static directory (under /media) without sacrificing the advantages of
automounting.
As root, create a file with a file name of your liking and the ending .fdi in
in /usr/share/hal/fdi/95userpolicy/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
etc etc. Now I would like to know whether the same procedure applies to SUSE
10. SUSE 10 has a separate /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy folder which contains
already two folders called 10osvendor and 20thirdparty which in turn the fdi
files. Do I create a 95userpolicy under that and put my mountpoints.fdi under
it?
Also, please have this typo fixed:
Mounting a CD-ROM drive and a CD/DVD writer:

No, you can copy this fdi-file to /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/ and name the file as you like. The semantic of the file is the same as for SUSE 9.3. But you don't need to restart hal to get the settings for new inserted media/devices. Restart hal is only needed if you want to get the settings from the fdi-file to already existing devices/volumes.

The <deviceinfo> tag is missing the closing >.
We will not fix this at the moment, because IMO the SDB articles planed to move to opensuse.org in the wiki. I fix this then. Cheers, Danny -- Danny Kukawka dkukawka@suse.de Mobile Devices SUSE LINUX a Novell Business Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany
