you can use hotplug to do whatever you want:

Hi Mike,
echo $DEVPATH | grep sda
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
exit 0
fi
echo "Hotplug Script" > $output
echo $ACTION > $output
if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ] ;then
echo "USB Inserted" > $output
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt
this is the command im using.
if the USB storage decive recognizes sda then it is not a problem.
some of the Storage device recognizing both sda and sda1. And it has to be mounted in sda1.
in that case what i can do???
please see the following command.
can i mount /unmount all the device?
is this solution is advisable to use??
echo $DEVPATH | grep sda
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
exit 0
fi
echo "Hotplug Script" > $output
echo $ACTION > $output
if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ] ;then
echo "USB Inserted" > $output
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt
if not provide me a better solution.

you already given the device name in the hotplug script, so use that instead of hardcoding random paths in the script

Hi Mike,
ya.... but if USD Storage device recognizes sda1.
then how can i mount the specified location.
Becoz im using "mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt" alone.

i already told you -- you're given the device name via a variable. use that instead of hardcoding paths.

Hi Mike,
instead of using "/dev/sda",
we can use $DEVPATH directly.
i.e
mount -t vfat $DEVPATH /mnt
is this correct?
if not please tell me clearly.
