how do you know where the usb storage device is in the /dev/ directory? syslog says: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/1, assigned device number 3 ... USB Mass Storage device found at 3 No clue what this means in terms /dev/hdxy devices or /dev/usb/ devices. Is this something I can hotplug to mount?
It depends on what dev manager you are using. Informations can be found in /proc or /sys (on 2.6)
I have written a small script that allows to automatically update the fstab when plugging in a USB mass storage device, with a pretty name as mount point.
It just retrieve infos from /proc or /sys to find the device.
Look at them, and feel free to improve them.
For 2.4: http://ccomb.free.fr/usbstorage/updfstab-2.4
For 2.6: http://ccomb.free.fr/usbstorage/updfstab-2.6
A 2.4 version modified by Florian Iragne: http://ccomb.free.fr/usbstorage/updfstab.florian
You need devfs, hotplug, fam (if gnome). The script must be renamed to "updfstab", put in /usr/sbin/, and set it executable.
