[[Category:HowToHelp]]
I have several USB and eSATA disk I need on my machine.
I also need to bring files and take files from the machine by USB stick.
Install autofs
{{Code|Code= yum install autofs}}
Need VFAT for the big USB Disk or the large files on it:
{{Code|Code= ​yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g}}
Setup the autofs by edit master settings
Add one (or more) line for the USB disk /var/hda/vol /etc/auto.vol --timeout=3
{{Code|Code= nano /etc/auto.master}} {{Text|Text=#<pre>
# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
#
+auto.master
}}</pre>
Add the directory by
{{Code|Code= ​mkdir /var/hda/vol ; chmod 775 /var/hd}}vol
Then add , '''with appropriate changes to your partitions''' the auto.vol file:
{{Code|Code= ​nano /etc/auto.vol<pre>
#
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# mountpoint_key options location_device # man 5 autofs
#
cdrom -fstype=auto,ro,nosuid,nodev,user :/dev/cdrom # the cd rom
#floppy -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/fd0
K -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sdk1
K.2 -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :dev/sdk2 #2nd partition
K.3 -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :dev/sdk3 #3d partition
L -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sdl1# some other driveM -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :</dev/sdm1N -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sdn1O -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sdo1G -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sdgH -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sdhI -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sdiJ -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sdj}}pre>
Now restart Make browse active by edit the file autofs and then all is GO
{{Code|Code= ​service ​nano /etc/sysconfig/autofs restart}}
Create the symlinksChange line BROWSE_MODE="no" to BROWSE_MODE="yes"
{{Code|Code= ​ln -s /var/hda/vol /var/hda/files/Disks}}Now restart and permanently enable autofs and then all should be good to go:
Make browse active by edit the file systemctl restart autofs systemctl enable autofs
{{Code|Code= ​nano /etc/sysconfig/autofsCreate a share and add symlinks from it to the newly set up drive
Change line BROWSE_MODE="no" to BROWSE_MODE="yes"}} ​ln -s /var/hda/vol /var/hda/files/Disks
That is all, but for more see:
http://www.autofs.org/autofs-man.html
[[User== Use USB Disks or Sticks on Ubuntu Server == Ubuntu Server edition doesn't have the same automount function as the desktop version, so if you want to add the functionality here's how:Nalleju|Nalleju]] Install the usbmount package  sudo apt-get install usbmount This will install the daemon and create some empty mount points at /media/usb0-7 If you now plug in a USB drive, it will be automounted in the first empty folder i.e. /media/usb0 If you need to mount an NTFS drive, then you need to edit the config file:  sudo nano /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf<pre># Filesystem types: removable storage devices are only mounted if they# contain a filesystem type which is in this list.FILESYSTEMS="vfat ext2 ext3 ext4 hfsplus ntfs"</pre> Find the 'FILESYSTEMS' entry and add 'ntfs' at the end If you use USB drives regularly you might want to add a symlink under /var/hda/files for one or more of the mountpoints, for example:  ln -s /media/usb0 /var/hda/files/drives/usb That's it!
