My distro is running udev. I discovered the automounter script in /etc/udev/rules.d was causing the mount point to be /media. For all I know, this is default behavior for udev.
Anyway, I think I found a solution. As suggested by another person on the thread, I went ahead and mounted a tmpfs on the /media directory. This allowed the udev automount script to function as it did when the squashfs option was disabled. Thanks to everyone for all the help. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Looijmans [mailto:mike.looijm...@topic.nl] Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2016 4:07 AM To: Jeffrey D Boyer <jeffrey.d.bo...@jci.com>; Christopher Larson <clar...@kergoth.com> Cc: yocto@yoctoproject.org Subject: Re: [yocto] Mounting USB drives on a "read-only-rootfs" based system On 14-06-16 15:48, Jeffrey D Boyer wrote: > Sorry, /media is not a symlink and there is no /run/media link or directory > present on my running system.

The /run/media should have been created automagically. Are you using udev or mdev for hotplug? For mdev, I implemented the automounting using /run/media and that should also work on read-only-rootfs systems. So I can probably figure out what's wrong with your config. For udev, I don't have a clue, sorry... > FYI, I'm running 3.14 kernel. Is this a job for aufs? If so, how would I go > about configuring it? No, it's not related to autofs or aufs or whatever. It's plain simple udev or mdev.
