usb harddrive problem
Posts: 3
Hi,
I'm having a problem to mount my external usb harddrive automaticly. I've changed the fstab file to:
# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda4 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs-3g auto,users 0 0
/dev/sdb5 /mnt/sdb5 ntfs-3g auto,users 0 0
/dev/sde1 /media/sde1 ntfs-3g auto,users,rw 0 0 #--> this is the external usb harddrive
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
# Dynamic entries below
/dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
I can mount my usb with superuser, but that's not ok for me, caus there are plenty audio files on it, so I can't listen to the music files with Amarok (permission denied).
Can someone help me out? Some guidelines or whatever.
Thanx in advance

Yes, there is a known bug

Yes, there is a known bug with HAL. Until that time, one MEPIS user has found a workaround:
