How to get block-mount do automount of USB and SATA on Barrier Breaker? I have /sbin/block and modified /etc/config/fstab to add mount point for /dev/sda1. But auto mount is not happening.
Running "/sbin/block detect" does not show USB or SATA device. Manually executing "/sbin/block mount" is not mounting USB/SATA

Hello,

Has any one tried automount using block-mount for USB & SATA ? Kindly let me know if you have any inputs.

Thanks.

Sure. My USB flash drive auto-mounts quite ok with Barrier Breaker.

Provide more details.
What happens in system log and kernel log when you insert the drive.

What do you mean by SATA here?

Thank You for responding.

When I connect flash device, I see USB core logs; log says its on sda: sda1

I have the following config in /etc/config/fstab
config global automount
option from_fstab 1
option anon_mount 1

config mount
        option target '/mnt'
        option device '/dev/sda1'
        option fstype 'vfat'
        option options 'rw,sync'
        option enabled '1'
        option enabled_fsck '0'

Having this, automount will not happen. However if I do "block mount" then it will be mounted. But, again if I remove the flash device, auto umount wont happen and if I connect it back remount also wont happen

Do I have to add rules or write some scripts? Which file I should modify?

I meant SATA hard disk.

Thanks.

That looks like old config for pre-BB versions (Backfire, Attitude Adjustment). Wiki information is currently a bit confusing.

Below is my fstab config and also log output what happens when I insert my USB drive (and later disconnect it).

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/banner | grep BAR
 BARRIER BREAKER (Bleeding Edge, r40694)

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/fstab

        option anon_mount '1'
        option auto_swap  '1'
        option auto_mount '1'
        option delay_root '0'
        option check_fs   '0'

## use 'block detect' to find out uuid, if you want device specific mount.
## anon_mount enables the automatic mounting of /dev/sdXy to /mnt/sdXy

Hello, Thanks for the information.

I changed my /etc/config/fstab similar to yours; still auto mount is not happening.

=======================================================

Are you using udev to create device files in /dev?

In your case, who creates device files and who calls 'block mount' ? Please let me know.

Thanks.

Its working now. Thanks for your help.
Have you tried NTFS mounting ? Please let me know.

Could you please share your working /etc/config/fstab and also your .config?

I am using Attitude Adjustment and automount is not happening. However, I can manually mount my USB device.

config 'global'
    option    anon_swap    '0'
    option    anon_mount    '1'
    option    auto_swap    '1'
    option    auto_mount    '1'
    option    delay_root    '0'
    option    check_fs    '0'

Make sure CONFIG_EPOLL , CONFIG_FSNOTIFY  and CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER are enabled.

do you mind advising how to enable CONFIG_EPOLL, CONFIG_FSNOTIFY ... ??
or perhaps check whether they are enable?
