Re-enabling Automounting

[WarheadsSE]

Nope.. He's got a really old install & pacman config. plugboxlinux.org was phased out a long time ago.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'W')e're repacking udev-oxnas to 173-3 to disclude the automount rules, and then it should be happy.

Hmm... odd, but good point. We'll smack the builder..

Hi, excuse me but the past days I was very busy with the exams

ok, I change the line:
Server = http://plugboxlinux.org/arm/$repo
with this:
Server = http://archlinuxarm.org/arm/$repo
reboot, pacman -syu but the response was the same...(I installed linux about 4 month ago, not years ago)
mmmh...I think it's nearly better to try to reinstall all (in another usb key, so I could come back)?
...or I write wrong this line? XD
thank you!

When I try to install udev-automount with the command from frist post, I get this:

When I try to proceed, I get this

Does somebody know, what went wrong here?

edit: pacman -Syu has been done today, all updates available have been installed

This is causing me a bit of grief.

Prior to the update my external HDD would automount and I could happily access directories and files. It has two partitions: 1TB_part1 and 1TB_part2, (both partitioned as FAT, or possibly NTFS, not at home right now and I can’t remember which). Now when I connect the HDD these partitions (or at least their names) appear as directories under /media but I can’t see any contents.
It does let me create new directories and folders within them though and if named appropriately SAMBA will pick them up and I can see them from a Windows machine.
If I now disconnect the external HHD and reboot my plug the directory/partition (in this 1TB_part1) and its contents that I created are still accessible on the plug. It seems that this content wasn't written to the external HDD at all??
Plugging the external HDD back into a Windows machine all the original contents are still there but the newly created content can’t be seen.

What am I missing? Could it be a permissions thing perhaps?

The drives didn't mount to those directories, so you were writing to the local file system, simple as that. Ensure the automount rules are installed and active.
