USB automount under Debian etch (post-upgrade)

Filed under: FOSS, Tech — strike @ 8:11 pm

If you connect fat32 usb mass storage device your machine under Debian etch, it won’t automount. The reason as specified is “The vfat file system does not yet fully implement sync-mounting.” So if you want it to automount, you simply need to add “vfat” to the FILESYSTEMS variable in configuration file /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf.

My file /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf looks like this (only relevant part):

FILESYSTEMS="ext2 ext3 vfat"
MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime"
