I haven't done this, but from the article it seems that you have either an entry in fstab and use mount -a to mount the drive after plugging it in, or you follow the udev - autofs route without an entry in fstab. > > But following this procedure the complexity of the problem is growing > exponentially (I need also install udev ?). I think udev is part of the base fedora system, so you will already have it installed, as part of package systemd-udev. The recipe in the article doesn't seem that bad. Basically three steps: identify and specify the drive, let udev know about the drive, set up autofs to mount the drive. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
