Hi All,

is there a way to manually assign what each USB

how to know it and mount the same in specific location??

please provide your suggestions in this regard.

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.
