Re-enabling Automounting

[crimsonredmk]

During a recent update, we removed the automount rules from the udev package to make it identical to the upstream Arch Linux one. As a result, USB drives and SD cards are no longer automounted.

To fix this and re-enable automounting, run the following command:

Code: Select all

pacman -S udev-automount

I got the following:

Code: Select all

[root@Arch Linux ARM install ~]# pacman -S udev-automount

This was before and after a Pacman -Syu. All I skipped was a kernel26 --> linux/core replacement.

Oxnas?

We're repacking udev-oxnas to 173-3 to disclude the automount rules, and then it should be happy.

Yep Oxnas. And ok, so after the udev-oxnas update, apply the above. Got it

Would this prevent a USB boot disk from mounting, or is it only for disks plugged in after boot? If it would stop a boot disk, how do I fix that if I can't boot anymore?

[crimsonredmk]

Sounds like you can't boot anymore...look in the Pogoplug Pro forums for help with that.

The automounting package is only for drives inserted after boot time. It doesn't touch the bootloader.

Am I the only one this did nothing for? Installed it on a fresh install and nothing automounted, ntfs and ext3.

mmmh, excuse me, I've just tried to use this command "pacman -S udev-automount" but the response was:
"error: target not found: udev-automount"
I'm root (pogoplug pink e02), what's the problem?
Thank you
