Reply To: How to Auto Mount sda1?

[xd3l]

I am trying to follow this guide:

http://linuxconfig.org/automatically-mount-usb-external-drive-with-autofs

replacing “udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdc/ | grep model” with “udevadm info -a -n /dev/sda1”

I get down to:

# /etc/init.d/udev restart
Stopping the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd.
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd.

Plug in external USB and your new base name is:

ls -l /dev/Iomega*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2011-02-23 12:36 /dev/Iomega -> sdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2011-02-23 12:36 /dev/Iomega0 -> bsg/14:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-02-23 12:36 /dev/Iomega1 -> sdc1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2011-02-23 12:36 /dev/Iomega3 -> sg3

Please note that /dev/Iomega1 points to a /dev/sdc1, which is exactly the partition we are interested in and we use it next to configure autofs.

And I do not have the custom directory in /dev/

As a work around I updated to xbmc.sh script to read:

#!/bin/bash
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && kodi

Though I’d prefer if ALL of my drives auto mounted.
