 device mount problems - FC5 One of the reasons I upgraded to FC5 was to fix problems with removeable media not mounting. I was surprised when it found: My card reader The smart media on that reader The zip drive on that reader The compact flash on that reader And on another usb hub, it found my mp3 player. But what is with the new mounting facilities? Everytime I boot, my mount-points /dev/win and /dev/win98 disappear, so I have to re-create the mount-points and remount them? And devices seem to move around. The "quick-mount" bar will sometimes say /dev/sdb4 invalid device, other times "not a block device", now, just now, guess what? It mounted! My mp3 player auto-mounted when I plugged it in, but evidently the device mount-point no longer matches where it is at either. It was /dev/sdc1 now it is /dev/sdf1! Anyway I can lock-down these device names?      |

Mount points should be in /mnt or /media; some distributions put them in the root directory as /cdrom or /C. > And devices seem to move around.

If the device name /dev/sdc1 is already in use, a newly plugged device must get another name (did you unplug the player without unmounting it?) > Anyway I can lock-down these device names? > Edit /etc/udev/udev.rules (assuming that Fedora uses the same file name as Debian/Ubuntu; it may be different). -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo. |
