Hello, Been try to use autofs to mount and unmount a usb flashdrive. The mount point is /media When the drive is NOT inserted, /media is empty. When Iinsert the drive, I see directories in /media that are on the usb drive but nocontent. So, its kind working. /etc/auto,master: # # Sample auto.master file # This is a 'master' automounter map and it has thefollowing format: # mount-point [map-type[,format]:]map [options] # For details of the format look at auto.master(5). # /misc /etc/auto.misc # # NOTE: mounts done from a hosts map will be mounted withthe # "nosuid"and "nodev" options unless the "suid" and "dev" # optionsare explicitly given. # /net -hosts # # Include /etc/auto.master.d/*.autofs # The included files must conform to the format of thisfile. # +dir:/etc/auto.master.d # # Include central master map if it can be found using # nsswitch sources. # # Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as # above) in the included master map any keys that are the # same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes # precedence. # +auto.master /media /etc/auto.usb /etc/auto.usb: usb -fstype=auto :/dev/sdb1 The particular usb drive is a REAR backup drive but Iused -fstype=auto in case it may be something different.
