hotplug will create corresponding directories under /media, when a new device is detected via Hotplug. It remains your choice to either utilize these automatically created directories, or to create your own directories. In any case, mounting the device takes place as before, for example like this:
mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-4710765066451:0:0:0p1.
Does anybody know how i get the machine to mount the usb-storage so that ordinary users can write to the card?
Good question. It appears to be in the hotplug script somewhere, but I'm not that familiar with scripts or programming to tackle it. Personally I don't like the subfs. I much prefer the action in 9.0 where it was recognized by hotplug, and the icon appeared on the desktop. I could drag files to it for transport. Now I have to find it in the "my computer" folder, and now I find out I can't write to it! Just plain silly. If there is someone from SUSE on the list that can explain the reasoning for this I'd love to hear it. Subfs would be great if there was a way to turn it off for those that didn't want it. just my $.02 worth Mike -- Powered by SuSE 9.1 Kernel 2.6.4 KDE 3.2.1 Kmail 1.6.2 For SuSE Mondo/Mindi backup support go to http://www.mikenjane.net/~mike 9:23pm up 1:30, 3 users, load average: 1.05, 1.08, 1.06
