Post subject:	Automatically mount USB harddisk and how make it writable
Anyone know how to automatically mount an USB harddisk and how to make it writable ? My harddrive is netdisk (ximeta) and my partition is ntfs edit /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /mnt/ximeta rw,user,noauto 0 0 edit /etc/auto.removable ximeta -fstype=vfat,user,exec,uid=1002,gid=1002,umask=002 :/dev/sda1 edit /etc/auto.master /var/autofs/removable /etc/auto.removable --timeout=2 But...I can't see my harddrive in /mnt/ximeta ============================================ I found a script (USBMOUNT) that could do that thing for me but when I try to dpkg -i the .deb, the system throw me an error. Here is the script : http://usbmount.alioth.debian.org/ root@mythtv:~# dpkg -i usbmount_0.0.11_all.deb Selecting previously deselected package usbmount. (Reading database ... 54575 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking usbmount (from usbmount_0.0.11_all.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of usbmount: usbmount depends on udev (>= 0.053-1); however: Package udev is not installed. dpkg: error processing usbmount (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: usbmount

Automount removable devices is something that is being worked on.

Quote: usbmount depends on udev (>= 0.053-1); however: Package udev is not installed. odd how the error messages will tell you what is wrong if you take the time to look at them. perhaps try apt-get update apt-get install udev

Even if you get that disk mounted, I believe NTFS is still read only under Linux. From what I have read, NTFS write support is very basic and in a very early form. See this LINK for more details.

Is this issue resolved yet? Cecil stated Quote: Automount removable devices is something that is being worked on. Is this in place yet?

Works for CDs. I guess you have not been keeping up with the changelog.

I ran into the very same problems and elaborated the following solution, which I do not claim to be perfect. But since it works, I am fine with it. However, my situation is perhaps a little different, because I do not want to "dynamically" mount my USB hardware but I want to mount it at boot. First, forget about usbmount, udev and the like. Installing them (or trying to) will throw a lot of unresolved dependencies. I stopped trying when apt-get told me not to remove mount-aes ... My device is recognized as /dev/sda1 and I could mount it manually, but after adding it to /etc/fstab, a reboot results in magically "shifting" it to /dev/sdb1, so it is actually not mounted (and probably never will, using this approach). This might be due to the fact that mounting devices is done prior to starting hotplug being in charge of detecting USB devices. I therefore ask my box to "manually" mount /dev/sda1 as part of the boot-scripts. That mount must occur quite late in the bootup sequence (at least AFTER hotplug being started), so I used a new "S99" entry in /etc/rc5.d and symlinked it to /etc/init.d/mountUSB. /etc/init.d/mountUSB Code: #! /bin/sh /bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/drive in /etc/rc5.d: Code: ln -s ../init.d/mountUSB S99mountUSBdevice That worked for me...
