autofs not mounting certain devices
I just switched over to udev and autofs to make my wife's work with an
mp3 player easier, but have hit some strange behavior with autofs.
I have each device I want to mount under separate files, referenced by
auto.master, as follows:
=====
daddy:/etc# cat auto.master auto.mp3 auto.flash auto.cards|grep -v ^#
|uniq
/misc /etc/auto.mp3 --timeout=3
/misc /etc/auto.floppy --timeout=5
/misc /etc/auto.flash --timeout=3
/misc /etc/auto.cards --timeout=5
mp3 -fstype=vfat,sync :/dev/mp3player
flash -fstype=vfat,user,sync :/dev/flash
cards -fstype=vfat,sync :/dev/cards
=====
udev seems to have no trouble recognizing these, but I cannot get the
memory stick to be mounted by autofs:
=====
daddy:~# ll /dev/mp3player /dev/flash
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2006-02-18 22:41 /dev/flash -> sda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2006-02-18 20:36 /dev/mp3player -> sdb
daddy:~# ls /misc/flash
ls: /misc/flash: No such file or directory
daddy:~# ls /misc/mp3
iAUDIO - Friends & Lovers.mp3 movie music picture record system
voice
=====
My udev rules:
=====
daddy:~# cat /etc/udev/local.rules
# local stuff for hpotter
# flash memory, Imation brand
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{vendor}="Imation ", SYSFS{model}=" USB Flash Drive", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="flash"
# Cowon mp3 player
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd?", SYSFS{model}="iAUDIO U3 ", SYSFS{vendor}="COWON ", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="mp3player"
# Epson printer's card reader
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd?", SYSFS{serial}="M16P20407291006080", SYSFS{manufacturer}="EPSON", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cards"
=====
While I haven't shown it, the card reader behaves similarly.
Is this quirk something obvious that I have overlooked? I can mount
/dev/flash normally, FWIW. I tried to turn up clues in Google, but saw
nothing similar.
Many thanks for hints, etc.
