Ubuntu Server auto USB mounting

I finally got around to setting up the nT330i box that I purchased like 3 months ago. I wasted so much time because I thought the built-in SD card slot hooks up to a USB interface, but turns out it's hooked up to more like the SATA/IDE interface, so the SD card will only be detected if I rebooted the system, but not a hot plug. I finally figured it out by using an external USB-SD adapter, and viola, the SD card showed right up in dmesg when I plugged it in.

Anyway, here are the notes for myself so I don't ever forget how I set up the udev rules to automatically mount them using udev rules:

1. Create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-persistent-usb-storage.rules, and put in it the following content as one long line:

KERNEL=="sd?1", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", RUN+="/bin/mount /dev/%k /media/usb"

2. Reload udev by running "/etc/init.d/udev reload"

Of course, after I got all of this working, then I figured out that for my purpose, I could have just installed 'usbmount', and it will automatically do all the work for me (even unmounting). So... apt-get install usbmount took care of it. The only down side is that I need to physically remove the entire USB adapter (not just the SD card), but that I can live with.

Ian's New Room

7 month after Ian is born, we finally got the baby room in shape. Next step is to move the crib in here. Ian seems to really like the new room with the open play area.

Ian's passport photo 雅硯的護照照片

Took Ian to get passport last month, and had his photo taken there. He was crying pretty much the whole time.

上個月帶雅硯去辦護照，沒帶照片，在那邊臨時照，雅硯哭的很厲害，邊拍照邊哭。
