Title: How To Make Sd 2nd Partition Auto-mount?
Post by: dougeeebear on December 30, 2006, 01:41:14 pm

Here's my scenario:

I fdisk'd my SD Card to make two partitions.
> Partition 1 - formatted as fat16 ( fdisk type 6 -- mkfs.msdos /dev/mmcda1 )
> Partition 2 - formatted as ext2 ( fdisk type 83 -- mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcda2 )

I created /mnt/card2

In /etc/fstab I have these entries for the sd card:
(the first line is original, the second line I added)

Code: [Select]

/dev/mmcda1  /mnt/card  auto  noauto,owner 0 0
/dev/mmcda2  /mnt/card2  auto  noauto,owner 0 0When the card is inserted, partition 1 auto-mounts fine, but partition 2 will not auto-mount.

But in console

Code: [Select]

# mount /dev/mmcda2 /mnt/card2will mount partition 2.

So obviously there is something else I have to do to make partition 2 auto-mount.

Also when I remove the card, Partition 1 auto-unmounts, but I have to unmount partition 2 using the console.

If anyone can help with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Doug

hmm... what if you specify that it is an ext2 ppartition.

Antikx,
Thanks for the link... it's very informative.

I've tried some of the different combinations listed there, but nothing yet.

/etc/card/sd_mem_ctrl and /etc/card/sd.conf controls it

Thanks, Meanie.
I'll take a look at them and see what I can come up with.
