Hi,

I got a external disk to mount on my Mandrake 10 laptop by enabling pcmcia
and modprobing the needed
modules. I then mounted it with Mandrake Control Center. I formatted the
disk and started using it.
However, this being a laptop I would like to be able to get to my office,
plug in the pc card, and
have the disk mount as needed. I am not able to figure out how to have the
card automatically detected
when I put it in, and the mount the disk when it's found (kind of what
happens when I put my wireless
network card in the pcmcia slot). Could someone please point me in the
right direction?

TIA for help and/ or pointers.

Hi,

Look at updfstab. This might do the job if the PCMCIA Firewire device
is mapped to a SCSI device.
