[Gllug] Auto mount Memory Stick Duo

Sat Jan 21 12:15:07 UTC 2006

Hi,

I have a Sony MicroVault (USB flash disk device) with a built-in
MemoryStick adaptor. Fedora automagically mounts it when I insert it
into a USB socket and also automagically mounts the MS that came with it
when I insert that.

I've just bought a new mobile that uses a MemoryStick Duo, and want to
use that to transfer files between my PC and phone; however, the MS Duo
isn't automagically mounted. I can mount it manually though.

I vaguely remember having to hand-crank mounting these media when I
first bought the MicroVault, several Fedora releases back (I'm using FC4
now), and eventually managing to get the system to automount them for
me, but I've completely forgotten how I did that now (the
mixed-blessings of a sophisticated GUI!). The system appears to be
creating and deleting mount points on-the-fly too so it must have
changed a bit since I last looked.

Can anyone give me some pointers? I know it's only a nice-to-have, but
it'd be nice to have :) I presume it's just a case of telling the system
how to recognise that MS Duo as just another MemoryStick...?

In case it's of any use, and it doesn't look to me like it is, here's
the section of /var/log/messages logging me inserting the MicroVault,
inserting the MS, unmounting the MS and inserting the MS Duo (despite
the error messages about the MS I've never had a problem using it):
