By default, disk drives do not automount in Ubuntu Server Edition. If you are looking for a lightweight solution that does not depend on HAL/DBUS, usbmount is a good choice.
The USBmount Debian package automatically mounts USB mass storage devices (typically USB pens) when they are plugged in, and unmounts them when they are removed.
I am trying to get a USB external hard drive (ext4) to automatically mount when it is plugged in. I used to have it working but has since stopped.
I would like to make use of Btrfs' transparent compression on an external drive.
Which tool is best for formatting the drive? Disk Utility or GParted?
How do I activate the compression? During formatting or when I mount the drive? I guess at mount time. I'm using usbmount to automatically mount newly attached devices, because nobody is logged in on the desktop.
Folks,
I have built a minimal Ubuntu system running Openbox. I have also installed fuse-exfat and usbmount.
When I insert a FAT32 USB disk, usbmount automatically mounts it. However, when I insert an exFAT formatted USB disk, usbmount does not do anything.
I am also running PCManFM (a great app).
I'm trying to replicate on the server what happens on the desktop version: when a USB drive is connected it is automatically mounted on /media as well as unmounted on removal or power failure.
I've tried usbmount but It doesn't properly unmount. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Dear all
I am new in Ubuntu and I wanted to mount my usb drive but when I wanted to install the usbmount I received this error:
Code:
E: Unable to locate package usbmount

I am using Ubuntu Server
I have done a clean install of 12.10 AMD64 from a USB drive to a 500 GB hard drive. It is set up with the full-disk encryption and LVM options. The installation went smoothly with no errors, and the system boots up and seems to work just fine except for one problem.
My /home directory is backed up on a 1.0 TB USB hard drive that is also set up with encryption and LVM.
I've just installed Debian 6.0.4 on VirtualBox, and I'm trying to install g++.
I am trying to get my drives that I mount in /etc/fstab to show in nautilus as devices.
/etc/fstab entry:
/dev/md125 /NAS ext4 defaults 1 1
In the past I believe I was able to simply put a softlink in /media to achieve this:
ln -s /NAS /media/NAS
chown user:user /media/NAS
Since udisks2 in Fedora 18 no longer uses /media and ins
