So well I bought a couple of usb enclosures to use as external storage for things like digital pictures. The /media/Volume_Label/ mountpoint magic makes its much easier to do anything scripted.. and it just works. Most of my pet peeves are second order issues like multiuser situations where non-console owners can hold the hotplug devices open https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136602 Or application level issues like gthumb not working the same way with mounted usb-storage the same as the ptp cameras. The dcim directory sensing for the gthumb wrapper works, but once gthumb is open.. you just can't interact with the mounted cf card as you would with the ptp camera it came from. I'd love to just be able to slap in a cf card in the reader automount it, have gthumb start up and then be able to hit one button and import all the files from the dcim directory tree on the cf card to my existing digital picture catalog on the harddrive. Instead gthumb treats the cf card as just another harddrive catalog space. Or in the case of music, rhythmbox forgetting about a music library and associated playlists that is on a removal disk if the disk is not present when rhythmbox starts up again. But the underlying hotplug mounting with volume-label as mountpoint is working like a charm. How close are we to seeing user configurable mount action policy for unique mounts? I'd love to be able to have an external harddrive full of music and be able to configure gnome to mount the drive and launch rhythmbox when the drive was connected all triggered by the volume name. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
