How can I get Gnome to reload its configuration when I attach removable
media? My case is thus:
RHL9
SanDisk USB Flashcard reader
My system is configured to automatically put an entry in /etc/fstab and
create a mount dir, /mnt/flash, when I attach the flashcard reader. But
I have to log out and log back in to get the "Right-click (on desktop)->
Disks -> flash" functionality to be able to mount the flash card.
How can I get Gnome to re-read /etc/fstab without logging out and
logging back in?
I tried "killall -HUP gnome-session" but that just kills the session
which effectively logs me out. Therefore this is *not* a solution!
In a related but slightly different problem/solution, I created a
/etc/hotplug/usb/flash script which automatically mounts the flsahcard
reader but I cannot UNmount the reader using
"right-click-on-mounted-device -> Unmount Volume". I don't know why the
thing will not unmount this way because in the hotplug script I force it
to mount as user "jeff" (me) and I *am* able to unmount it from the
command-line using "umount /mnt/flash".
Thanks for your help, Gnome gurus!!
