Perhaps. I was thinking of something to run in the guest since that's where the checkbox seems to be. But maybe I'm just a bit naive. To run this on the host, I would need to detect when a drive is inserted, read its UUID, and then run the command. Is that the idea? I presume you aren't doing it automatically. I can probably find a way to do this whenever a drive is inserted. But others may have better ideas so I'd love to hear suggestions. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA "You can't go to Windows Update d...@compata.com, +1 714 434 7359 and get a patch for stupidity." dhcl...@alumni.caltech.edu -- Kevin Mitnick -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
