I hope to consolidate the thread here. I have partially solved the automounting of usb 'scsi' mass storage cameras, which is done by hal. No udev rules are necessary. No device definitions are required. It's all already there. fstab-sync takes care of creating mount points. /dev/sda and sda1 both appear when the camera is plugged in; the necessary kernel modules are automatically loaded. Furthermore, it all works... If one is using gnome: plug in the camera and the filesystem on the camera's memory chip will be automatically mounted to /media/usbdisk. The problem is how to get this to happen under kde. Under kde, one has to manually mount the camera. Isn't there a way to make this behave under kde the way it is supposed to? </blockquote></div> Well, am I perhaps confusing what is meant by automount? I just read this article: <a href="http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=DBUS">http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=DBUS</a> The author talks of double-clicking to mount on the removable storage icon in the media:/ list. I guess that is what I did in Gnome. An icon appeared on the desktop that I double-clicked and the file browser opened, showing me the contents of the disk. What I understand as automounting is the following: I open up the konqueror and the files on the removable media will already be there, in line, just as are all the other mounted partitions, right then and there, without any clicking. I suppose this is no longer worth pursuing, now that I have seen the difference in the approaches... that they are not in fact different. It's just that in KDE, the place one clicks is buried in the sidebar. I guess it's easy enough to create a link...
