Auto-Drive ... Mounts ALL removable media.

[abushcrafter]

ok, it was more of an idea how to keep it simple (not intended to distract from sunburts thread and his GUI I have used his work before on my slackware box ) just a special request fill in no rox or xdialog required
no user interaction either

here it is with the fixes

place it in Startup

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# call it  mount_all updated 10-17-2010  Joe Arose
# auto_mount all drives
# now if you  have to mount stuff from the command line only  here's  one
# unmount in /mnt     manually
# don't unmount a drive that has your save file !
# you have to "refresh"  to see the updated mounts in ROX
# this doesnt depend on xdialog or rox


#----------------------------------------
# generate  /tmp/list_of_drives 
#----------------------------------------
#to be safe remove out the loop mounted stuff and the swap partion if there is one from the list

blkid  | egrep '(hd|sd)' | egrep -v "/dev/loop*" | egrep -v "swap" | cut -f 1 -d ':' | sed 's/\/dev\///'>/tmp/list_of_drives



for drive in  `cat /tmp/list_of_drives` ; do
 
mkdir -p /mnt/$drive
mount -o loop /dev/$drive /mnt/$drive
           
done  

Thanks that now mounts my drives. However it does not update the state of the desktop drive icons. What about you create a new thread for "mount_all"?

to keep things uncluttered in this thread I started a new one all new post will be there
this started as a special request


note this is a different objective a non GUI non event driven
fully automatic at start up and trying to maintain a simple script
and have it place the mounted folders automatically on the desktop too


*the event driven drive icons are not updated I havent poked into that yet
