[gentoo-user] hal .fdi rules for usb stick

[Raul Gonzales]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my USB stick mounted at some other  place than 
/media/<VOLUME-LABEL>. For the beginning it would be enough to mount it 
to /media/usbstick.
I've created my own fdi rule:


#cat /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-usb-mount.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

<device>
       <match key="volume.fsusage" string="filesystem">
         <match key="volume.uuid" string="9487-F0B5">
                <merge key="volume.policy.should_mount" 
type="bool">true</merge>
                <merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point" 
type="string">/media</merge>
                <append key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point" 
type="copy_property">usbstick</append>
         </match>
       </match>
</device>

but it didn't work........

Also is there a way how to mount usb stick to some completely different 
location, like: /home/user/usbstick ?


Thanks,
Raul

Add it to /etc/fstab. If a device is listed there, most automounters will
use the information given there instead of making up their own mount
point. You'll need to add noauto to the options.
