fstab line switches for digital camera in Debian Sarge?

**redbeard** · 08-27-2005

I'm trying to make it so that I don't have to mount my digital camera via command line in Sarge each time I want to use it. Currently I have to type the following whenever I want to pull photos off of it:

Code:

mount /dev/sdb1 /camera

This works until I reboot or remove and reattach the camera, but ideally I'd like to be able to have it automatically mounted whenever I hook it up. I've been reading the fstab and mount man pages, but I'm not sure I understand this well enough to put the line together that I need. Can anyone help me write the line I need to add to fstab?

Camera: HP R707 set to act as a USB drive.

Results for camera using "fdisk -l":

Disk /dev/sdb: 255 MB, 255853056 bytes
16 heads, 30 sectors/track, 1041 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 480 * 512 = 245760 bytes

Try adding the following line to fstab.

Code:

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/camera vfat noauto,users,dev 0 0
