Hello list.

I just configure my system, so i can keep some double-clicks, so when
i plug in my USB storage device, it mounts it automatically.

Its done with usbd, where i put a entry like this on usbd.conf

device "MY Device"
        devname "umass[0-9]"
        vendor  0x0fce
        product 0xd028
        release 0x0000
        attach "export D=da`echo ${DEVNAME}|cut -c 6`s1 ; sleep 1; su
killfill -c 'mkdir -p /tmp/w800'; su killfill -c 'mount_msdosfs -o
longnames /dev/${D} /tmp/w800'"


Yah, its pretty ugly, but it works ok. :-)

i have no records in fstab, as i dont know offhand if the device will
be on /dev/da0, 2 or 3...
it will depend on when do i plug it, before or after other da* devices....

Nautilus does not shows the drive on the desktop, as it did when it
was configured with fstab.

anyone happend to know how to configure this?

im told, ubuntu and some linuxes does tell nautilus to show the
mounted devices... i really dont know how, maybe its done with dbus?..
no idea really. i have no other box to see it.

can you point me to the right direction?

thanks!
