Hi folks: I know there are plenty of folks that use removable USB flash media and/or USB external drives, so I'm hoping someone has solved this. I'm attempting to have automount mount a Maxtor external USB drive when it's plugged in, and unmounted when it's unplugged. With the following entry in /etc/fstab, I have no problem manually mounting the drive with "mount /mnt/usb": /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto defaults 0 0 However, autofs/automount isn't showing anything when attempting to let it automount the drive (yes, it's already been umounted). Here's the configuration: [/etc/auto.master] /mnt/usb /etc/auto.usb --timeout=10 [/etc/auto.usb] usb -fstype=auto :/dev/sda1 After doing a "service autofs restart", mount and "service autofs status" both show it as being automounted, but an "ls /mnt/usb" reports nothing... [jason@lappy ~]$ mount | grep usb usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) automount(pid14078) on /mnt/usb type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=14078,minproto=2,maxproto=3) [jason@lappy ~]$ sudo service autofs status | grep -v '^$' Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount --timeout 10 /mnt/usb file /etc/auto.usb Active Mount Points: -------------------- /usr/sbin/automount --timeout 10 /mnt/usb file /etc/auto.usb [jason@lappy ~]$ ls /mnt/usb/ [jason@lappy ~]$ Any ideas or suggestions?
