Mount Point of USB-Sticks

R

rfriemer

Hello,

I'm just new as a Member, but have read a lot here in this forums ans got a lot of help. So, Thanks a lot for that.

Now, I have a Problem, which I couldn't found in the Internet and perhaps somebody could give me a hint.

I am using FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE with Plasma5 and I have a Problem this mounting USB-Sticks. I do not use any mounting-tools. I want to use it only with the plasma GUI

I have formatted the USB-Stick with FAT32 and I have given them a label. I though in older versions the mountpoint would be /media/<Label> But I'm not sure.

Now, when I mount the USB-stick the mountpoint will be /media/<Serial-Information about the USB-Stick>, e.g.

Code: 
/dev/da5s1 on /media/USB_SanDisk_3.2Gen1_01013f53f4d42b373cc34dd77948cd5a83b672977756d09418b55c3ace54a2b594200000000000000000
0000c8eb571000932a0083558107492a43f8_s1 (msdosfs, local)

My question s now, how can I change this?
Is it possible to use the Label?
Does somebody also has this Problem?

Or does anybody give me a hint, where to look?

Kind Regards

You should find a device like /dev/msdosfs/label which can be mounted like this :
# mount -t msdosfs /dev/msdosfs/label /media/yourmountpoint
 
Hello facedebouc,

thank for this information. This is useful for a manual mount, but I want to have it autotmounted.

So, I have found something in the messages-log but I can not get the information where to look further

Code: 
May 25 17:44:28 ... kernel: umass1: detached
May 25 19:46:28 ... kernel: ugen0.9: <SanDisk Ultra Luxe> at usbus0
May 25 19:46:28 ... kernel: umass1 numa-domain 0 on uhub1

May 25 19:46:28 ... kernel: da5: quirks=0x2<NO_6_BYTE>

The mountpoint for this USB-Stick is:

Code: 
/dev/da5s1 on /media/SanDisk_Ultra_Luxe_0101791c325b6987aa3f781f9e12808069b43ee14afb32fa840a95a66646f84c730f00000000000000000
0001335af0c00146100a3558107c82627ab_s1 (msdosfs, local)

Is there a way to find the daemon doing the mounting in plasma5?

Is it possible to configure it?

Kind Regards

Robert
 
I've always mounted USB sticks manually and the only editing I do is create the /media/da0s1 directory first:

Code: 
mount -v -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /media/da0s1

umount -v -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /media/da0s1

mount -v -t msdosfs -F32 -o large /dev/da0s1 /media/da0s1

umount -v -t msdosfs -F32 /dev/da0s1 /media/da0s1

Click to expand...
While I don't have FreeBSD with KDE/Plasma, I think that KDE should make it ready for mounting when USB stick is connected. You should see a notification that stick is connected with the option to mount/open it. Then you can browse USB drive in Dolphin.
This is how it works in Slackware linux/Plasma (KDE) and FreeBSD probably.
I have FreeBSD with XFCE. When I connect USB it becomes visible and I have just to right click on the USB icon to mount it.
I think that by definition you will not see autmomounting windows-like style (completely without user interaction) which is expected.

I am not sure what do you need? Is your FreeBSD installed in VM? Then you have to make it available for VM client first in VM Manager.
 
Thank you for these help, but it didn't helped. I have installed sysutils/automunt, but it didn't change the mounting of the USB-Stick. See the screenshot.

See the Mountpoint /media/SanDisk_Ultra....

This is no ok when you copy multiple Forders.


There are no howtos or description in the Internet, so, I didn't found anything.

Does anybody has an idea?

Kind Regards

I got an update.

I do not know what happened and when, but now the Mounting is different.

Now I have the situation, that the device-name, e.g. /media/da5s1 will be used as Folder, see Screenshot above. This is much better than the label. These folders can rest in the /media Folder.

The one Thing I can remember I did, was in the Systemsettings.

I have activated the automatic Mounting in this dialogue (sorry it is in German).

So for me this issue is resolved.

Thank you for your help.
