Usb drive automount with drive's Name

I've read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev#Udev_Tricks so now usb drives are automounted as /mnt/usbhd-sda1 (or something similar). But I want them to mount as /mnt/usb-drive-name
where usb-drive-name is auto-detected (not preentered by hand).
Unfortunetly I didn't find drive name in information provided by udevinfo.
Is it possible to do that?
Also I'm using KDE and want to set it up so that automounted drive would appear in system:/media. As far as I understand in order for that to happen I need a record in fstab but I have no idea what that should be.
Thanks in advance.

You have clearly not done very much research on this subject. Did you know that with hal and dbus daemons, kde will automount for you? And for that to happen, there should _not_ be an entry about that device in fstab, unless it is clearly specified as "noauto". You need also be a member of the correct groups to do this.
After that, it's a easy as clicking the device in media:/ and renaming it...
Please, read up on the wiki.

  • USB devices automounted with wrong permissions

    When I plug in my usb hardrive (in KDE) the volumes are automounted in /media/volume-name with root as owner and group - which means I'm not able to access the volumes.
    I'm using KDE 3.5.4-6, all my packages are up to date (hal/udev/dbus etc.).
    How can I get the volumes to be automounted so that I can access them (also, some of the volumes are fat so I'd like them to mount as umask=000).

    i've got the same problem after updating my system (pacman -Syu) two or three weeks ago.
    i decided to wait for an update of hal and dbus at first. today they both got an update - the problem still exists.
    before upgrading everything was fine. plugged in my usbstick/hdd and it was available in "media:/" for users
    now it's available too, but owner is always root.
    my user is added to the groups "storage, hal, dbus"
    dbus and hal are running and working.
    i don't know where to say kde to mount it as user or with umask=000

  • [SOLVED!] On USB drives, problems with non-English chars and HAL

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with non-English caracters (áãàçéẽê...) on files stored on my USB drive.
    On Windows they're created with the correct name. But on Linux the files have the non-English characteres replaced by '?' and are not accessible.
    If I manuallly mount the drives using 'mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk' the characters are OK, so I think I just need to get HAL to pass the correct parameters to mount. However I don't know how to do that, and haven't found any good solution.
    I tried to build a custom kernel setting the default charset as UTF-8 and it didn't work.
    Any ideas? I'm using x86-64, HAL 0.5.13-3 and my locale is pt-BR.UTF-8.
    Thanks!
    EDIT: Actually, this is not a HAL problem, but a problem with 'exo'. For the solution, I edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and added iocharset=utf8 to the [vfat] category.

    I don't use Thunar presently, but I looked in the Thunar Volume Manager doc and I didn't find anything to change the mount options of removable drives. I am not quite sure if it's possible or not. Maybe someone using it can tell for sure.
    But if it is not possible to change the mount options, a possible solution is to disable the Thunar Volume Manager plugin and to use something else more configurable to manage the automount function.
    Personally I use the halevt package from AUR which uses configuration files in the xml format.
    It's not so easy to use but is highly configurable.
    But there exists other tools also.
    I can help you with halevt if you choose that way...

  • Udev automounting for usb drives

    I am using the howto from the wiki to setup udev rules, so that my usb drives automount to /media/.
    I have run into a snag though. My ipod shuffles and one of my thumbdrives go to /dev/sdc (with no number). But, the udev rules are looking for them to have numbers. I was wondering if there was a way to alter the current rules to also automount those devices that only have the main partition.
    My ruleset:
    KERNEL=="sd[c-z]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="usb%m", GROUP="users", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[c-z][0-9]", SYMLINK+="usb%n", GROUP="users", NAME="%k"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[c-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /medimediasb%n"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[c-z][0-9]", PROGRAM=="/lib/udev/vol_id -t %N", RESULT=="vfat", RUN+="/bin/mount -t vfat -o rw,noauto,flush,quiet,nodev,nosuid,noexec,noatime,dmask=000,fmask=111 /dev/%k /media/usb%n", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[c-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o rw,noauto,sync,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/%k /media/usb%n", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[c-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/usb%n"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[c-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/usb%n", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    Thanks!
    FYI: Wiki Page

    I think that device sd? without sd?1 isn't correctly partitioned, or is it? All my usb pens have sd?1 on them, I never tried making filesystem on the physical device itself. I don't know, but at least, if you want to make special rule for one particular device, try this:
    I mount my usb devices using this rule:
    KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{vendor}=="Corsair", ATTRS{model}=="Flash Voyager", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="voyager"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{vendor}=="Corsair", ATTRS{model}=="Flash Voyager", RUN+="/bin/mkdir /mnt/voyager"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{vendor}=="Corsair", ATTRS{model}=="Flash Voyager", RUN+="/bin/mount -t vfat -o sync,flush,uid=1000,gid=100 /dev/voyager /mnt/voyager"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd?1", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="Corsair", ENV{ID_MODEL}="Flash_Voyager", RUN+="/bin/umount /mnt/voyager"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd?1", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="Corsair", ENV{ID_MODEL}="Flash_Voyager", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /mnt/voyager"
    KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{vendor}=="WD", ATTRS{model}=="1600BEV External", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="passport"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{vendor}=="WD", ATTRS{model}=="1600BEV External", RUN+="/bin/mkdir /mnt/passport"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{vendor}=="WD", ATTRS{model}=="1600BEV External", RUN+="/bin/mount -t vfat -o sync,flush,uid=1000,gid=100 /dev/passport /mnt/passport"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd?1", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="WD", ENV{ID_MODEL}="1600BEV_External", RUN+="/bin/umount /mnt/passport"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd?1", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="WD", ENV{ID_MODEL}="1600BEV_External", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /mnt/passport"
    I execute these actions based on device name - ATTRS{vendor}=="Corsair", ATTRS{model}=="Flash Voyager".
    I used Writing udev rules guide, which explains how can you find devices properties and what udev events are triggered by plugging in usb pens for example.
    Similary, you can use this approach for the problematic device and keep old match pattern sd[c-z][0-9] for other devices.

  • [SOLVED]Mounting usb drives "not authorized" with thunar-volman (XFCE)

    Hi,
    I'm new to Arch (even though I must be approximately at my 15th try at installing it properly) and I have a problem with thunar-volman.
    Whenever I log in as user, and try to mount a usb drive with thunar, let's say I want to plug a drive labeled Ext3_8Go, I get the same message in a pop-up window : "Failed to mount Ext3_8Go (or anything close, not in English in the text), not authorized (that part is in English)"
    My install is :
    - net install
    - partitions : 9Go for /, no swap, no separate /home
    - packages : base and base-devel. The only modifications in the package list is that I remove ppp, pcmciautils, and xfsprogs.
    - config : at the install stage I only modify rc.conf to change LOCALE and HOSTNAME, and pacman's mirrorlist to allow all French mirrors in addition to the one at the top.
    When the usb installation is over, I run this script :
    "installation_xfce.sh"  (there may be some errors left, I modify this script as I learn) :
    #!/bin/bash
    # expected environment : freshly installed archlinux, login : root.

    Any idea ?

Then start your computer, and you will enjoy the process of resetting the password, it is easy and quick. Don't worry if you have difficulty to bios setting, you can see more in the Windows Password Rescuer website.

  • Disk Utility 13 problem with USB drives

    There appears to be a problem with Disk Utility 13 (part of OS X 10.9). At least, so far as I can tell, everything traces back to this app, or possibly OS X 10.9 itself.
    I recently upgraded my MacBook Air to OS X 10.9 (reformatted hard drive, installed system from scratch, updated with all the latest Apple updates). I pre-checked all my third party software to make sure it was 10.9 compatible before installing it after the system cleanup, so everything I’m running supposedly has been approved as safe for 10.9. But I’m seeing a problem formatting USB drives that I do not encounter when running under 10.8.
    I have a Seagate STAA500101 (“FreeAgent GoFlex”) drive connected via Seagate’s USB3 adapter that I’ve used for some time as a Time Machine backup. Post-overhaul, I decided to erase the backup and start fresh. When I attempt to format it (single GUID partition) with Disk Utility, I see the following messages go by:
    Formatting disk1s2 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Untitled 1
    Could not mount disk1s2 with name (null) after erase
    Then there’s a pause, and the format appears to conclude fine. But if I run a “Verify Disk” immediately, I get this:
    Verifying partition map for “Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Media”
    Checking prerequisites
    Checking the partition list
    Checking for an EFI system partition
    Checking the EFI system partition’s size
    Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
    Checking all HFS data partition loader spaces
    Volume  on disk1s2 has 0 bytes of trailing loader space and it needs 134217728 bytes
    Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
    Error: Partition map needs repair because a data partition needs loader space.
    As the drive has just been formatted, that seemed odd. I took it over to another Mac still running 10.8.5 and formatted it there — it worked just fine. Verified just fine. Took the drive back to my MacBook Air and tried to verify the disk — same failure.
    I wanted to rule out bad media, so I took a Lexar 16GB USB flash drive and tried to format it with Disk Utility 13 — got the same problem.
    The only success I’ve had formatting USB drives under 10.9 is to boot up into OS X Recovery. Disk Utility there formatted my Seagate drive without an error. But once I booted back into normal 10.9 operating mode, the drive once again fails to verify; it makes me leery about using it as a Time Machine backup.
    I suppose it’s possible there could be some background component like Sophos causing problems when formatting drives, but if I format a drive via OS X Recovery or another Mac under 10.8, that wouldn’t explain why the drives fail to verify.
    Anyone got any other observations on this issue?

    Problem resolved. I'm posting this note for anyone else who might run into this situation and come across this discussion.
    It actually did turn out to be Sophos -- Cloud, that is. I'd been using Sophos' free Mac antivirus software on a variety of systems but forgot that I was now testing out Sophos Cloud on my own MacBook, which is their new endpoint solution, and supposed to be compatible with OS X 10.9 (although the Mac version is listed as "beta") Sophos Cloud includes a new feature called Device Control which allows you to create a company-wide policy to control access to hardware such as USB drives, optical drives, etc. But apparently it's still pretty buggy. I had my Device Control configured with the default setting of "monitor but do not block" but it was most definitely gumming up the system. With Sophos Cloud installed, here's what happens if I try to run "Verify Disk" on any attached drive. Note on the left side how "disk2s2" shows as a sub-volume for each hard drive.
    So if I uninstall Sophos Cloud, reboot and rescan, here's what I get:
    Works fine. Note that the "disk2s2" subvolumes are also gone. This is the way Disk Utility also appears on a 10.8 or 10.9 system, even if you have the standard free Sophos for Mac software installed. It's only Sophos Cloud that's not playing nice. It also appears to have stopped me from being able to play DVDs from an attached Apple USB SuperDrive -- that problem was likewise solved by removing Sophos Cloud.

  • Problems with RAID and a Flash USB Drive

    I'm attempting to install on a RAID 1 array using just one usb flash drive.  Yes, just one.  I'm trying out the idea's in this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64281
    Partitioning scheme:
    sdb1 -> boot partition
    sdb2 -> swap
    sdb3 -> raid 1 array -> root
    I set the partitiions to type 0xfd (linux raid autodetect) in fdisk (probably not necessary) and created the array with:
    mdadm -C /dev/md0 -n 2 -l -b internal missing -W --write-behind /dev/sdb3
    I then installed like normal, specifying that I needed usb and raid hooks in mkinitcpio.conf
    I added "md=0,/dev/sdb3" as a kernel option in grub's menu.lst, specifying that the md driver should assemble /dev/md0 (my root partition) out of /dev/sdb3 before trying to mount it.
    This process was succesful using a partition on my hard drive.
    However, using a usb drive causes a kernel panic during boot when trying to mount /dev/md0.
    Looking at the messages reveals that before my usb drive was detected, md attempted to create the array, unsuccessfully, as /dev/sdb didn't exist yet.  "md: unkown device name /dev/sdb3" or something to that effect.
    In mkinitcpio.conf, the usb hook comes before the raid hook, so this shouldn't be happening, should it?

    I think rootdelay will not work in that special case, rootdelay makes the system to wait after all the hooks are executed, and you need to wait before executing the raid hook.
    I don't know if there is an easy way for that, but one solution is to modify the raid hook to wait for /dev/sdb3 to be created :
    - edit /lib/initcpio/hooks/raid, add this before the /bin/mdassemble command :
    until [ -e /dev/sdb3 ] ;
    do
    sleep 1 ;
    done
    - rebuild your boot images with mkinitcpio (you'll need to chroot to your system)
    that should work
    PS: someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I know, the usb hook does not create your /dev/sdb (if you edit the usb hook, you'll see that it only set rootdelay if it is not yet set). it is the udev daemon, which is launched in the background by the udev hook, and the udev daemon is quite long to create USB device nodes.

  • Mapping usb drive with rdesktop to windows server/XP

    I have read that the -r option with rdesktop allows you to map a local usb drive on a linux pc to a windows server or XP as follows:
    rdesktop -r disk:usb=<path> <ipaddress>
    I have arch installed with a base gnome so that usb drives are automatically mounted and unmounted when plugged in.
    Locally I have made sure that the usb is being mounted properly.
    But when I rdesktop into the windows pc and open windows explorer the usb drive appears as a network drive in the left window but no files appear in the right hand window.
    Windows gives me a message that the resource is unavailable. Mu usb is formatted in FAT.
    This occurs whether I use the dev address (/dev/sda1) for my usb drive or the mounted address (/media/usbstick) in the -r option.
    Can anyone tell me why I am not seeing any files in windows on my usb stick?

    There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
     To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
    Search for: security
    Click 'Local Security Policy'
    Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    Click OK
     To disable Windows Search:
    Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    Press OK, close all windows and restart.
     A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

  • Mounting USB drive as regular user (with ntfs-3g)

    Hello. First of all, I not asking to do the homework for me, rather is someone can help me understand why I can't get this work.
    I spent the last night trying to figure how mount an USB drive as a regular user, using ntfs-3g. I read the related wiki entries and researched quite a lot in the forums. I came up with this:
    fstab:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
    shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
    #/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
    #/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
    #/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1
    /dev/sda2 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2
    /dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
    /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb ntfs-3g noauto,uid=0,gid=0,noatime,umask=000, 0 0
    I created a ntfsuser group, added my user to that group and trim permissions to the ntfd-3g executable (link in this post). That allows me mount the partition as root and read/write as regular user. It works, so (i think) not big deal here.
    However if I add user to the mount options the following error shows up:
    Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the
    external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary
    or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.
    Please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged
    What bugs me the most is I don't understand why I can't mount as regular user when the user option is set in the fstab. Shouldn't that allow regular users to mount and unmount? Is not like that I'm mounting and dismounting USB drives every 5', but I would like to get this done because I know it can be done
    Sorry for asking such trivial question, but I sense that I'm missing something really stupid and I just can't figure what it is

    Beware of the double post! (+1)
    Ok, I decided I'd get this to work, although the method and the implications it could have might not seem pretty to some. There are certain conditions for a user to mount any ntfs volume with ntfs-3g, I will name them here:
    1. ntfs-3g with integrated fuse support. You'll get this by:
        1A. Removing ntfs-3g and fuse from your system if you have them installed as separate packages, so do this as root:
    pacman -Rn ntfs-3g
    pacman -Rn fuse
    Now you can install the new package.
        1B. Getting a modified version of the PKGBUILD found in that AUR link previously mentioned by me, here's mine:
    # Maintainer: Gula <gulanito.archlinux.org>
    # Slightly modified by anderfs
    # Don't forget to setuid-root for the ntfs-3g binary after you install this
    pkgname=ntfs-3g-fuse-internal
    pkgver=2010.5.16
    pkgrel=1
    pkgdesc="Stable read and write NTFS driver (whit internal fuse suport)"
    url="http://www.tuxera.com"
    arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
    license=('GPL2')
    depends=('glibc')
    conflicts=('ntfs-3g')
    makedepends=('pkgconfig')
    options=('!libtool')
    source=(http://www.tuxera.com/opensource/ntfs-3g-${pkgver}.tgz
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ntfs-3g-fuse-internal/ntfs-3g-fuse-internal/25-ntfs-config-write-policy.fdi)
    sha1sums=('895da556ad974743841f743c49b734132b2a7cbc'
    '200029f2999a2c284fd30ae25734abf6459c3501')
    build() {
    cd "${srcdir}/ntfs-3g-${pkgver}"
    ac_cv_path_LDCONFIG=/bin/true ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --with-fuse=internal --disable-static || return 1
    make || return 1
    package() {
    cd "${srcdir}/ntfs-3g-${pkgver}"
    make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install || return 1
    ln -s /bin/ntfs-3g "${pkgdir}/sbin/mount.ntfs" || return 1
    install -m755 -d "${pkgdir}/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor"
    install -m644 "${srcdir}/25-ntfs-config-write-policy.fdi" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/" || return 1
    Save this as PKGBUILD, preferrably in an empty directory so it doesn't clutter things up when you build it.
        1C. Now go to the directory where you saved it and do this as a regular user:
    makepkg PKGBUILD
    After that's done, you'll get a package called ntfs-3g-fuse-internal-2010.5.16-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz, or something similar.
        1D. Install that package as root:
    pacman -U ntfs-3g-fuse-internal-2010.5.16-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
    If all went well you now have ntfs-3g compiled with integrated fuse support.
    2. The ntfs-3g version must be higher than 1.2506, this is already covered, the package installed from AUR matches this requirement.
    3. The ntfs-3g binary must be set to setuid-root, to accomplish this you shall do the following as root:
    chown root $(which ntfs-3g)
    chmod 4755 $(which ntfs-3g)
    I used 4750 instad of 4755, I guess that last bit can be a matter of personal taste as long as it isn't something obnoxious like "7".
    4. The user must have the right access to the volume. Okay, this is the ugly part, volumes are owned by root and managed by the disk group with permissions brw-rw----, this means you have to add any users you want mounting this volume to the disk group.
        4A. So, do this as root:
    gpasswd -a [user] disk
    Where [user] is obviously the name of whichever user you're adding to the disk group, do this for any user you want mounting this volume.
        Any users currently logged in will have to log out and back in for these change to take effect, this most likely includes you.
        4B. Now that you logged back in, try this:
    groups
    One of the groups listed should be disk, if it's not there you didn't completely log out of all open sessions.
    5. The user must have the right permissions/access to the mount point. For a user to be able to mount something to a mount point, that user needs to have read permission (pretty self-explanatory), write permission (so the user can make any changes to the sub-structure of the mount point), and execute permission (so the user can change-dir to that mount point) to it. Mount points can be anywhere, so this really depends where you're mounting.
    In my case, I'm mounting these volumes on certain directories under /mnt/, for example /mnt/example. If you're mounting stuff there, you might as well take advantage of the fact your "mounting user" is already in the group disk, and do the following as root:
    chgrp disk /mnt/example
    chmod 774 /mnt/example
    Now users in the disk group will be able to manage these mount points.
    6. Mount it. That's it, you should now be able to mount ntfs volumes as an "unpriveleged enough" user. Here's an example of what you'd have to put in /etc/fstab:
    UUID=XXXXYYYYXXXXYYYY /mnt/example ntfs-3g noauto,noatime,user,uid=0,gid=6,fmask=137,dmask=027,rw 0 0
    uid=0 means root will be the owner of this mount-point and anything in it after it's mounted. This is due to the fact that even though users might own their mountpoints and have rwx permissions on them, you might still not want them to write to the mounted ntfs volumes. Remove this if you want them to be able to write to the volume.
    gid=6 means this will be managed by the disk group in my system. Perhaps the disk group has a different id in your system, run "id root" to find out, as root usually is part of this group.
    fmask = 137 means the owner (root) can do anything with files in this volume except executing files. Group members (disk) can only read files here, not create or execute them. And other users can't do anything in this volume.
    dmask = 027 means the owner can do anything with directories (execute here is needed to chdir), users can't write directories but they can read or execute in them (once again, needed by 'cd'), and finally other users still don't have any access.
    You can use whichever fmask and dmask makes sense to you, or use an umask instead.

  • How can I boot Cisco1841 with USB Drive instead of CF?

    Hello
    I need to boot Cisco1841 with USB Drive instead of Compact Flash but I don't know what should I do.
    I heard I need to format USB Drive with FAT and need to save IOS on the USB Drive.
    Before boot, Need to set config register ? I am not sure which parameter should I set config register in detail.
    Please let me know if there is URL describing thease steps from the beginning.

    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps6247/prod_qas0900aecd80232483.html
         Q. What sizes of USB Flash sticks are supported?
         A. USB Flash sticks are supported in 64, 128, and 256 MB sizes. No other sizes are supported.
         Q. Can I use any USB memory stick for this application?
         A. No. Only Cisco USB memory sticks are supported.
    Q. Can I boot an image directly from the USB Flash module?
    A. Yes. USB drivers have been added to rommon, starting with version 12.4(13r)
         Q. Can I format the USB Flash module on the router?
    A. Yes. You can format the module on either a router or a PC. You must  specify "FAT16 file system" as the file system for the PC format process  to use.
    If your setup satisfies above conditions you can get the router to boot up with the IOS on the USB flash
    If you are in ROMMON mode, use 'dev' to find out the name of the USB Flash (should be usbflash0).
    set BOOT=usbflash0:
    If you are in the router,
    boot system flash usbflash0:

  • USB Drive Sharing with Airport Extreme Problems

    We have a airport extreme with a usb disk attached and shared. We also have 2 vista systems and 1 xp system accessing the usb drive. In the airport extreme utility, file sharing is enabled with a device password. We map a drive to the usb drive and enter the username like such:
    local pc-name\address of the airport extreme
    and password is the airport extreme password. This will allow us to view and modify the contents of the usb drive but when we log out of any of the windoze systems, we are again prompted to enter username and password for the mapped drive. This is not the way it was designed, right? We also, in the map drive dialog box, select "reconnect at logon" and connect using a different name/credentials and still asked for the username and password when logging back into the windoze systems. We also tried enabling guest access on the airport utility and this will allow only 1 connection which will not work as we have 3 systems that need to access this drive. We also went 1 step further and reset the airport extreme in the event that we made some configuration mistake somewhere and this still does not work. We should be able to enter the username and password once and only once, right?

    No one has any ideas about this?

  • Removable USB drive not automounting in xfce4

    Removable USB drives automount in every other window manager I've tried(lxde, gnome, kde). I have thunar-volman installed(not sure what it's for though), and I've went to Applications Menu > Settings > Removable Drives and Media and ticked "Mount removable media when inserted", to no avail.
    My .xinitrc file:
    #!/bin/sh
    # ~/.xinitrc
    # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
    if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
      for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
        [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
      done
      unset f
    fi
    # exec gnome-session
    # exec startkde
    exec startxfce4
    # ...or the Window Manager of your choice
    # exec startlxde
    Manually mounting the USB drive works however.

    I have decided to ditch xfce4 and go with KDE, which automounts without any fuss.

  • OS X 10.8.4 - Hard drives and USB drives showing up as numbers, not names.
