Hi,

Thanks... have figured out a long time ago how to disable hbplug. My way is not to start the script hbmgr.sh in the first place. This would mean that you can't use vfat/ntfs etc., but it's not a big deal since I use ext3 (these are built-in kernel modules) and  you can "insmod" those kernel modules if needed to be.

Now, using my way or your way, ther are two issues that I have noticed:

  * ntp does not work reliably well. Have to edit the rcS script to add ntp with arguments that mimick rdate, and run ntp daemon next.

  * automatic mount points are not created and mounted. This can easily be created and mounted by editting the rcS script.

Steadph

Will said: How exactly would I go about creating and mounting automatic mount point? I want to be able to kill off hbdw and hbplug as hbplug is constantly running at 100% cpu and it is constantly spinning my HD. But after following the directions above, commenting out line 64-68, I have do not even have a /tmp/.cemnt directory anymore. I am not sure what command the HBPLUG/HBWD issue to get my USB device mounted into that directory to be able to do it myself. Any help would be appreciated.

 Will,

Once you stop hbmgr.sh, the subdirectory /tmp/.cemnt will be gone, so you have to recreate it. Example to add on the script /etc/init.d/rcS at the end:

/bin/mkdir /tmp/.cemnt
/bin/mount -o rw /dev/sda1 /tmp/.cemnt

And your USB Device would be then be mounted.
