Automount external USB?

free2k · 30. Juni 2015

Hello,

If I power on my external usb drive it will be mounted for some seconds and then unmounted.

Code

How to automount an external usb drive?

I want to switch on and off my external usb driva via timer switch. This will be done once a week for about 2-3 hours. During this time USB Backup runs to backup my RAID to the external usb drive. After that external usb switch off by the timer switch.

The problem is, that my usb drive will not be automatically mounted.

Any ideas?

The usb backup plugin works auto mounting the drive performing the backup and unmounting the drive. It gives a sound notification when the job is finished via pc speaker(beep).

if you don't want the plugin then you need use udev rules for auto mounting.

I would like to use the USB Plug-in and its auto-back-up, however, I want my back-ups to go to a sub-directory on the drive. Consequently I have tried using udev rules to create an auto-mount by using the guidance here https://www.axllent.org/docs/view/auto-mounting-usb-storage/ to create a file "/etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules" containing:

Code

KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"  
# Import FS infos  
IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"  
# Get a label if present, otherwise specify one  
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"  
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"  
# Global mount options  
ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"  
# Filesystem-specific mount options  
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,umask=002"  
# Mount the device  
ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}"  
# Clean up after removal  
ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/%E{dir_name}"  
# Exit  
LABEL="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"

and then reload:

Code

udevadm control --reload-rules

This created something of a problem as Storage/File_Systems then gave errors, e.g.:

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C; mount -v '/media/22f45667-e682-4224-9f5e-818e3762e0db' 2>&1' with exit code '32': mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.

and:

And in WinSCP I am seeing a number of drives that make little sense.

I have deleted the /etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules file and reloaded "udevadm control --reload-rules", but to no effect.

Are you able to advise how I can back to the status quo and, once there, how do I create an auto-mount rule for USBs?

Jetzt mitmachen!
