+ Automounting Removable Media
+
+
+ The -media &man.autofs.5; map is
+ supported starting with &os; 10.2-RELEASE.
+
+
+ USB devices can be automatically
+ mounted by uncommenting this line in
+ /etc/auto_master:
+ /media -media -nosuid
+
+ Second step is to add the following lines to
+ /etc/devd.conf; default configuration
+ file contains them, but in the comments section:
+ # Discard autofs caches, useful for the -media special map.
+notify 100 {
+ match "system" "GEOM";
+ match "subsystem" "DEV";
+ action "/usr/sbin/automount -c";
+};
+
+
+ Reload the configuration if &man.autofs.5;
+ and &man.devd.8; are already running:
+ &prompt.root; service automount reload
+&prompt.root; service devd reload
+
+ &man.autofs.5; and &man.devd.8; can be enabled at boot
+ time by adding these lines to
+ /etc/rc.conf:
+
+ autofs_enable="YES"
+devd_enable="YES"
+
+ Start the services immediately with:
+
+ &prompt.root; service automount start
+&prompt.root; service automountd start
+&prompt.root; service autounmountd start
+&prompt.root; service devd start
+
+
+ Each file system that can be automatically mounted appears
+ as a directory in /media/. The directory
+ is named after the file system label. If the label is
+ missing, the directory is named after the device node.
+
+ The file system is transparently mounted on the first
+ access, and unmounted after a period of inactivity.
+ Automounted drives can also be unmounted manually:
+
+ &prompt.root; automount -fu
+
+ This mechanism is typically used for memory cards and
+ USB memory sticks. It can be used with
+ any block device, including optical drives or
+ iSCSI LUNs.
