I decided to buy the Iomega 120GB FireWire external HDD. Kudzu
recognises the device, and configures it as /dev/sda. In the Hardware
Browser the drive shows up under "SCSI devices" as
Iomega [00d0b8] / Iomega External Hard Drive [000001]
Manufacturer: Unknown
Driver: sbp2
Under "Hard Drives" in the Hardware Browser the single partition shows
up under /dev/sda as
sda1 1 15017 117797 fat32
and I can mount the drive manually by
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/firewire120
However, although Kudzu does seem to call updfstab nothing is added to
fstab. I looked through /etc/updfstab.conf.default and none of the
entries in there look like they would match the drive. I know I can
manually edit /etc/fstab myself, but actually I like the idea of
kudzu/updfstab/magicdev automatically taking care of removable and
hot-pluggable media.
Does anyone know what I should add to /etc/updfstab.conf so that it
automatically creates mount points (what is a sensible mount point for
this drive?) and how to get magicdev to create an icon for it on the
nautilus desktop that has a sensible name (like "Iomega Firewire 120GB
External HDD") rather than its mount point?
TIA, Darren
