Is it the new grml0.8 feature? That's exactly what I want. grml0.7 used to be
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 auto .....
Sorry, was a typo of course.
The implementation would be something like:
# for label in /dev/disk/by-label/* ; mkdir /mnt/$(basename $label)
hmm.... that won't work. As shown in my example. /dev/disk/by-label/ is only populated when a disk is mounted. So you didn't see the full list of my os partions.
As you wrote in your other mail it will work. :)
So I will implement it and see how well it works for all of you in the next develrelease.
[usb-pens]
pmount-hal requires running dbus/hald. Not an option for the default behaviour of grml for me at the moment.
grml's udev solution for usb pens works for me. Just run 'mount /mnt/external1' and usually that's it. Plain and simple. Mounting by label is possible anyway and pmount-hal exists on grml too. What are missing therefore? :)
The default behavior of the grml's udev solution for usb pens works for you but might not work for others. For example, I have 2 usb pens, one has no partition, so I can't use /mnt/external1; whereas the 2nd has 3 partitions, in which grml's solution is not enough.
Use /mnt/external for pens without any partitions. :)
But you are right - for multiple partitions it's still not a nice solution, I'll think about that with the other grml-devs. Thanks for your suggestions!
