When I un-plug my USB disk and plug it back, it take a long time (about 20 seconds) to mount the USB drive. But .... if doing the following step 1. Manually umount the USB drive by command line 2. Un-plug it 3. Plug USB drive back to the PC 4. AutoFS will recognize fast (Within 2 seconds) Would someone tell me why?? The following is my configuration about AutoFS #-----------<< auto.master >>----------------------------- /mnt /etc/auto.usb --timeout 1 /net -host +auto.master #-----------<< EndOfFile >>------------------------------- #-----------<< auto.usb >>-------------------------------- usb_disk -fstype=vfat UUID="ECA3-7F95" #-----------<< EndOfFile >>------------------------------- Cheers, Bruce Man -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
