Getting floppy automount to work
I got floppy automount to work, but only for one user at a time, but that should easily be fixable.
Change the auto.master file to:
/mnt/auto /etc/automount.sh --timeout=3
Change automount.sh
*fat|msdos) options="${rw},uid=username,gid=username,umask=000 ";;
ntfs) options="ro,uid=username,gid=username,umask=0222"; ;
Where "username" is the name of the user you want to have access to the floppy.
I don't know if these two are required, probably not, but that's what I had when I got it working:
auto.misc has the line (comment out the other floppy line):
floppy -fstype=auto,sync,user,umask=000 :/dev/fd0
auto.mnt has instead of the original floppy line:
floppy -fstype=auto,sync,user,umask=000 :/dev/fd0
After all this, as root, do /etc/init.d/autofs restart, or reboot, and the floppy should work normally. Has anyone else had any other success with the floppy automounting?
