This is a good discussion, I am going to learn something here. It was my understanding that the File Alteration Monitor is used to tell the operating system when there are changes to files in monitored filesystems. When you plug in a device, there is no filesystem for that device yet, so how does FAM notify anything? And then what does it notify so that an appropriate fstab entry is created. And what tells the operating how to create that fstab entry? And how does it know where, and how, to create a mountpoint. I am way confused. Any help at all would be appreciated. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3993.32] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.2] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 16:44:24 up 17 days, 23:19, 4 users, load average: 0.29, 0.14, 0.11 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
