Re: automounting
No, I wasn't automounting as root either; had already checked that. my
/etc/fstab is ok; tried putting in kudzu and it made no difference. Read
in
the README.debian for autofs that I needed to compile the kernel with
autofs support as a module; I did this but even though I see a "probe"
line for it in /etc/modutils/autofs, the module doesn't seem to load
unless I load it.
I do see /var/auto/misc and will try this, although I frankly think it's
weird to have your mount points in /var.
Also, sometime in the past couple of weeks messing with this, i seem to
have picked up a /media directory with /cdrom which is a link to cdrom0;
also has cdrom1 which makes sense since I have a cdrom and cdrecorder. The
cdrom is /dev/hdd and is what i want to automount at this point along with
/dev/fd0. Where would /media have come from?
I have no errors in /var/log/messages; I'm simply told the file doesn't
exist if I ls /mnt/cdrom/cdrom or ls /mnt/floppy/floppy. of course
/mnt/floppy and /mnt/cdrom do exist because i created them, but apparently
in debian those aren't even the mount points.
