DietPi + AmiBerry | Auto usbmount #501

Fourdee · 2016-09-07T12:01:15Z

check if usbmount is compatible with our existing mounting system (manual in fstab). If it is, we can add the package by default to installation.
If not, i'll need to have a look and see what we can do to help users transfers files from USB drive, whilst being compatible with our "dedicated USB drive / user data" system.

@midwan

Q: Are the users trying to:

Copy their .rom/.adf from a USB drive to the SD card?

or

Run .rom/.adf directly from an existing USB drive?

or

Both?

midwan · 2016-09-07T12:09:29Z

The most common scenario will be to:

Plug in USB device which contains ROMs, ADFs, HDFs, etc.
Copy those on the SD Card for use with the emulator

Many people prefer to get a large sd card (e.g. 8 or 16GB) and store everything in it, so they don't have to plug in anything extra after that.

Of course, the option to have the external USB device used "as-is" is very good, but most users are not familiar with that at the moment. I believe once they pick up on that, they might start using it more and more (maybe I should write a howto specifically for that).

Notes: usbmount

🈯 | Existing dedicated USB drive setup with DietPi

Automatically mounts USB drive as per fstab, when plugged in.
Mount location is correct /mnt/usb_1

🈯 : | No existing USB drive

Automatically mounts USB drive to /media/usb0

Works in harmony with /etc/fstab, great stuff.

Notes to self:
Increases filesystem total by 606KB.
Install by default on all DietPi systems?

Please check if you've also got filesystem support available, for FAT16, FAT32, NTFS...

Yep. Our image supports vfat/ntfs/ext* as standard.
However, ntfs isnt enabled by default in usbmount.conf:

root@DietPi:~# cat /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf | grep FILESYSTEM
FILESYSTEMS="vfat ext2 ext3 ext4 hfsplus"

I'll add that in and test ntfs. https://github.com/rbrito/usbmount#the-special-case-of-fuse-filesystems

USBmount + ntfs does not currently work in Jessie, workaround:

Ok could probably do this with just systemD using auto FStype and automount:

/dev/sda1       /mnt/usb_1      auto     defaults,noatime,nofail,permissions,x-systemd.automount  0       0

Fourdee · 2016-09-07T15:19:34Z

Only downside is:

Cant use permissions mount attribute thats used only by NTFS drives. As this prevents other FS types from mounting (eg: ext4).

Fourdee · 2016-09-07T15:26:57Z

Done, automount works with:

NTFS
VFAT
EXT*

Also worth noting these changes will help with setting up multiple drives: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/271

EDIT: And this will be patched on users system during v131 dietpi-update
EDIT2: And mount locations will be /mnt/usb_[index]
