does not allow custom mount options per filesystem +supports MTP devices (Android phones for example) +provides graphical fronted in GTK+ toolkit +can customize mount options for each filesystem type + supports MTP devices (Android phones for example) + provides /var/log/automount.log log file +can open selected file manager when device is inserted +written in POSIX /bin/sh script – easy to modify + can customize mount options for each filesystem type To enable loading FUSE kernel module at boot add fuse_load=YES line to the /boot/nf file and to load it on the running system just type the kldload fuse command.īelow I will try to compare all their features, strengths and weaknesses. One has to also remember that to mount any FUSE based filesystem the FreeBSD FUSE kernel module needs to be loaded. There is also FreeBSD base system solution called autofs(8) which I was not able to make work. The other one is dsbmd/ dsbmc – a media mounting daemon/automounter for FreeBSD with optional graphical GTK+ frontend. One is the included in the FreeBSD base system autofs(8)/ automount(8) subsystem. Its 2018 and various other solutions appeared in the meantime. You can also install it as pkg(8) package. It is available on GitHub - and in the FreeBSD Ports as sysutils/automount port. It you remove such device (device disappears) then it forcefully unmounts it and cleans used mountpoint from the /media directory. When new ada/ da/ mmcsd* device appears then it tries to detect the filesystems on these partitions/slices and mount them. Such events are when new block device appears/disappears from the /dev directory.įor this problem about 2013 I created a devd(8) based solution – the automount daemon. One of the FreeBSD daemons is devd(8) – the device state change daemon that provides a way to have userland programs run when certain kernel events happen. You may want to check other articles in the FreeBSD Desktop series on the FreeBSD Desktop – Global Page where you will find links to all episodes of the series along with table of contents for each episode’s contents. In this article in the FreeBSD Desktop series I will introduce various methods to automatically (or not) mount external/removable devices such as USB or eSATA disks/pendrives or SD/microSD flash cards.
