Hi list,
Is it possible to automatically mount media when they are inserted?
From the GNOME 2.4 documentation (Nautilus, 1.8.1:To mount Media):
"
If your system is not configured to mount the device automatically, you
must mount the device manually. Right-click on the desktop, then choose
Disks->device-name. For example, to mount a floppy diskette, choose
Disks->Floppy. An object that represents the media is added to the desktop.
"
So, how can i configure FreeBSD to mount the device automatically?
Unfortunately, the GNOME way to manually mount media via an entry in
/etc/fstab does not work under FreeBSD since the mountpoint must be
owned by the user, which is difficult to configure for a multiuser system.
Any solution?
