@ -84,6 +84,20 @@ Q: How will udev handle devices found before init runs?
A: udev will be placed in initramfs and run for every device that is found.
Work to get this implemented is still underway.
Q: Can I use udev to automount a USB device when I connect it?
A: Technically, yes, but udev is not intended for this. Projects that do
automount hotplugged storage devices are:
* Usb-mount http://users.actrix.co.nz/michael/usbmount.html
* devlabel http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#devlabel
Alternatively, it is easy to add the following to fstab:
/udev/pendrive /pendrive vfat user,noauto 0 0
This means that users can access the device with:
$ mount /pendrive
And don't have to be root but will get full permissions on /pendrive.
This works even without udev if /udev/pendrive is replaced by /dev/sda1
Q: I have other questions about udev, where do I ask them?
A: The linux-hotplug-devel mailing list is the proper place for it. The
address for it is linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
