Description of problem: When I plug in my USB camera I don't get any entry added to /etc/fstab. I have to mount it manually with 'mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/camera'. There are no subdirectories in /media. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.2.97.cvs20040819-1 How reproducible: 100% Additional info: This stuff all used to work fine with hotplug/kudzu.
I need two things. 1. With your camera plugged in, powered up and mounted please post the output from lshal(1). 2. Plug out your camera; stop the hal daemon (service haldaemon stop) and paste the output from this # hald --daemon=no (wait 10-20 secs, then plug in your camera) Thanks, David
I think the problem was the missing fstab-sync symlink. See: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-August/msg00859.html for a suggested change to the package scriptlets.
The package is now installing the symlink and it's now called 50-fstab-sync.hal (all HAL callouts now need to have the .hal suffix). I have uploaded a new pacakge hal-0.2.97.cvs20040823-1 to Rawhide with this fix.
