Mounting USB devices is very, very slow. This morning I inserted my PNY memory stick at 10:18:22 but "df" didn't show it mounted until 3 minutes later at 10:21:05.
As background information, in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules is: KERNEL=="sd*1", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="PNY", SYMLINK+="PNY", RUN+="/bin/mount -a" and in /etc/fstab is: /dev/PNY /mnt/pny vfat rw,nosuid,auto 0 0 The kernel messages in /var/log/messages for this period of time are in the attached file (to avoid line wrapping by mail clients). Any thoughts on why it takes so long and how I can speed up recognition? Ideas for enabling more messages (from udev, the kernel, etc) to see what's happening would also be helpful. TIA, David
