Sorry, yes I didn't have that right. At boot time, the system attempts a mount before the usb hotplug has executed, and the mount fails. For a quick way of getting the usb disk to mount on boot I tried simply adding mount /mnt/flash at the end of the script that starts hotplug, and that works. On my system that is rc.hotplug, but it would be different on other distros that use system v init scripts. You are correct, in order to have the usb disk mount when plugged in, hotplug will have to be configured to do so. I have not had a need to look into this kind of config so far, but there are examples in /usr/doc Steve Holmes wrote: I'm thinking one would have to modify the USB hotplug stuff
