Dear arch users,
I managed to mount my usb stick automatically via udev rules (hal isn't running). However, if > I unplug the stick while thunar is open, the umount command hangs. After that I can't even reboot. But if I close thunar before unplugging the stick umount works fine. Here is my udev rule:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", SYMLINK+="unistick%n" SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo -u benjamin /bin/mount /media/unistick" SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="umount /media/unistick"
And here is the corresponding line of fstab:
/dev/unistick1 /media/unistick vfat rw,noauto,user,utf8,noatime 0 0
Thanks for any help, Benjamin
you could maybe look into autofs, since it can automatically unmount the device after a period of inactivity, and automatically remount when activity starts again. C Anthony
