Better automount rules in karmic

Well i had already posted about automounting ur drives on startup but on the ubuntuforums topic, n0_mad reported an error and said a better way 4 doing it

so here goes

his method uses gnome-mount which is probably installed by default but if its not, its in the repos so just issue

sudo apt-get install gnome-mount

just add

gnome-mount -p Data(change it to your volume label)

to preferences-> startup applications in the command section 1 for every drive. or write a bash script like in a file

#!/bin/sh
gnome-mount -p drive1
gnome-mount -p drive2

make it executable by right clicking the file and from the properties->permissions allow execution or just run

chmod +x /path/to/file

and just add that to ur startup applications using browse button infront of the command section.

Automount in Karmic

Since "Hal" is being deprecated, and ubuntu moved to devicekit-disks, i had a hard time figuring out how to set my drives to autmount on startup like i used to do with editing /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi and setting automount to ture.

i just found a solution for it, thanks to this

do this

sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/95-devkit-disks.rules

at the end BEFORE:

LABEL="devkit_disks_end"

just add

RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto /dev/sda6 /media/Programs"

of course replace /dev/sda6 with ur drive number and /media/Programs with the mount point u like.

i also added this rule, dunno if its needed, it was supposed to set me as the owner but i still have to enter my pass if i wana unmount and remount a drive again but i dont care...

KERNEL=="/dev/sda[0-9]", OWNER="user"

FINALLY! found a solution for this it has been bugging me like hell!
