Subject: [gentoo-user] Detecting when a USB device is attached
Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2006 17:09:43 -0500	[thread overview]

List members -

I was wondering if anybody knew of a package or a method that I could
use to detect when a USB mass storage device is attached to my PC. 
What I would like to be able to do is to write a small script that
would mount my USB mass storage device, sync up a directory, and then
unmount the device everytime I plug my USB drive into the computer.

I know this isn't exactly a gentoo question, but my PC is running
gentoo linux so I thought that I would try to ask here.

Thanks for any suggestion that you might have.

Warm Regards,
James
