firewire drive mount as user with menu ?
Hello all..
I trying to mount a firewire drive under fedora core 1. I have re-run the
rescan-scsi-bus.sh script and that has found the drive ok. I also have a
usb camera which I somehow managed to setup a while back and that mounts
to /dev/sda1 using :-
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,defaults 0 0
from fstab
The usb camera smartcard has a menu entry called usb when I right
click on the gnome desktop to open it. Problem is the firewire drive has
configured itself on sda1 also when the camera is not present and I am not
sure how to give each device a unique id. Also how can I get a menu
entry for the fire wire drive (and still keep the usb entry for the
camera) so I can right click on the gnome gui and open the drive with full
user access ?
Still quite new to linux but learning all the time

Re: firewire drive mount as user with menu ?
One other point. I plugged the usb camera in and the firewire drive at the
same time and re-ran the scan-scsi-bus.sh scrpit and this seems to
allocate sda1 and sdb1, great I thought but then the firewire would
not open and somehow disappeared on the next reboot. It only seems happy
and opens if the camera is not present.
Think I have fixed the read write access problem. I don't mind if I can
only have the usb camera in or the firewire at anyone time. No big deal to
me so a single entry in fstab that can cater for both ? ie :-
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbfire auto noauto,user 0 0
would this work for both a usb camera drive as fat I think and the
firewire drive as ext2 ?

Sorry for the long winded post. On some reboots the drive is no longer
available and re-running the scan-scsi script it does not find it ???
Now I am confused. Roll on core 2. I understand hot plugging has been
improved ?
