% cat /usr/local/etc/nfīesides not supporting (yet) MTP devices it just works. The sysutils/automount comes with /usr/local/etc/nf configuration file which has these options on my box. 11:38:14 /dev/da0: random wait for '0.1' seconds before 'attach' action One of the nice features of sysutils/automount is /var/log/automount.log log file which has all details about mounted filesystems. Nothing more is needed as the pkg(8) will restart devd(8) after adding new configuration files. Its installation and setup is very easy, just add the automount package using pkg(8). sysutils/automountįirst I will describe daemon that I used since 2013. That does not happen with sysutils/automount which just works so I will stick to it but I will provide an update later with results after longer period of testing the sysutils/dsbmd daemon. I tried sysutils/dsbmd along with sysutils/dsbmc-cli and GTK+ graphical sysutils/dsbmd frontend and I really liked it but it sometimes fails me with 100% cpu usage and requires restarting. For Android phones I used simple-mtpfs command within xterm(1) terminal. Up to this day I used mine sysutils/automount exclusively as removable devices automount solution. removed device is not unmounted automatically mount being done only after interaction with /media/* dir does not support BTRFS/HFS/XFS (can be added) 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.
