hi all!
i've (tried to ;-)) written a small applet in python to automount
USB umass devices: bsd_usb_tools-0.1
attached the shar for public testing.
how does it work resp. some data:
* there no /etc/fstab entries necessary
* default mount point-base: ~/usbdrives
* if the usbdrives dosn't exist it ask you for a mountbase
and creates the directory
* it looks for /dev/da?s? devices and if found it
1. creates a mountpoint: e.g: ~/usbdrives/memstick@da0s1
2. mount the memstick
3. start nautilus (turn on/off this feature per
gconf-key /apps/bsd_usb_tools/start_app_or_dialog)
* if unmounted by nautilus it:
- removes the mountpoint
- don't try mount again until the memstick is removed and
reinserted. the second way to remount a device is double click
the applet
* three applet icon colors:
white: no device mounted
red: working
green: one or more devices mounted
* it logs more or less usefull data into syslog. this can turned off
by editig the script and set DEBUG=False.
* if there are yn da* devices which are not created by usbd this applet
can't be used now because it always try to mount them.
* everything is mounted as memstick -> if possible i try to avoid this
with checking the output of "camcontrol devlist" in a later version.
* because there is no fstab enytry the device is invisible in gnome until
the stick is inserted and mounted.
i send it to the list because i'm curisous about what others think about
it and unfortunately i've only a memstick and no other devices to test.
if there is a positive feedback i try to add more features.
franz.
