ldm - Lightweight Device Mounter

TheLemonMan · 2013-07-26 22:00:55

That's right too. It shouldn't be hard to fix anyway, could you please file a bug report about lvm on github so I won't forget?

TheLemonMan · 2013-09-01 21:00:22

Finally moved from /media/ to /mnt/, also the config file is now at /etc/ldm.conf since the conf.d directory has been deprecated

Rolinh · 2013-09-02 08:33:54

And the PKGBUILDs have been updated.

Talking about deprecation: /etc/rc.d/ldm could be dropped as well.

Thank you. I have removed my patch now.

TheLemonMan · 2013-09-04 11:51:49

The lvm branch contains some fixes that should solve the problems people reported with lvm partitions, I'm waiting for feedbacks!

May mount dir defined in ld.conf ? I like /media more.

Symlinks anyone?

TheLemonMan, here are some rather important (to my mind) features which ldm lacks:

a man page (ldm is the first package I came across without it)
mounting multiple partitions on the same device
unmounting by udisks without gaining root privileges
multiple users support

TheLemonMan · 2014-01-12 12:17:47

ldm should already mount all the partitions found on a devices, post a dmesg log if doesn't work for you.
The multiple user support is feasible, I'll work on it when I have a break from study heh

Rolinh · 2014-01-14 09:44:47

Anyone would mind maintaining ldm on the AUR? As I do not use it, it would maybe be better if an actual user maintains it.

TheLemonMan · 2014-02-09 18:35:04

ldm (the git version atm) can now unmount devices without being root, refer to the readme!

This saddens me a bit heh, anyway you can leave it to me

Rolinh · 2014-02-13 13:32:29

I've disowned both the ldm and the ldm-git packages.
Sorry to sadden you but it is just that I don't use it anymore and think that it would be better if someone that actually uses it maintains it.

TheLemonMan · 2014-02-14 15:55:47

A man page has been added! Along with a couple of bugfixes (NTFS and LVM related) and new functions
If there's nothing else to add/fix in the next couple of days I'll tag another stable release!

ttz · 2014-02-19 20:02:59

I'm having issues unmounting with ldm.

My service file line is:

/usr/bin/ldm -u $USER_UID -g $USER_GID

Devices mount great, but if I try and use "ldm -r /mnt/LEXAR" (LEXAR is the folder that shows up), it does not unmount. I have to unmount with umount. I've also tried "ldm -r /mnt".

Any ideas?

EDIT: Silly me. Found the issue. Didn't add /usr/local/bin to my path.

REEDIT: Still does not unmount. Any ideas?

Awesome Tried for the first time and works almost
(some trouble with the .service, but have to move the file I think.)

Any ideas or examples on how to inegrate it into Awesome (WM) ?

TheLemonMan · 2014-04-17 16:18:58

There's a callback system that allows you to integrate ldm with your DE as you like
It's written in the man-page how to use it.
Oh, and please use the git version, the stable release has a slightly bug regarding the callback system.

Sometime in the last 2-3 weeks, ldm has stopped mounting an SD card that it used to mount for me. Unfortunately it's been that long since I last mounted it, so I don't know what change may have triggered this. The issue occurs with both ldm and ldm-git (I used the PKGBUILD from the comments at AUR for ldm-git).

I can mount it manually, no problem, so I don't think the card's corrupt.
I've tried plugging in a usb disk and ldm mounted it, no problem.

Journalctl gives no errors, and if I run it in non-daemon mode, I get no errors.
Below are the dmesg output and udevadm monitor output:

Not sure what else I can provide.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, as an aside, there's nothing in the man page about the call-back mechanism (unless you mean the scripts that can be run at mount/umount time)?

TheLemonMan · 2014-05-08 13:05:59

The latest git version provides a -V option to output some more informations about the devices detected, please report the output

skanky · 2014-05-08 13:29:42

Thanks for this.
I had the sd card plugged in when I started it, so I unplugged it and re-plugged it back in, which is why it's repeated.

Many thanks, that's excellent.

Having a similar issue.

Downloaded the "ldm-git" package from the AUR yesterday, created the /etc/ldm.conf file with my IDs and started the service via "systemctl enable ldm.service".

systemctl | grep ldm
ldm.service loaded active running lightweight device mounter

So it's also active.

Now I plugged in my USB stick and nothing happened. So I stopped the service, removed the stick, and started manually to get the verbose output:

/dev/sda
dev_fs : (null)
/dev/sr0
dev_fs : (null)
/dev/fd0
dev_fs : (null)
Now I plugged in the USB stick:
/dev/sda
dev_fs : (null)
/dev/sr0
dev_fs : (null)
/dev/fd0
dev_fs : (null)
/dev/sdb
dev_fs : vfat
dev_type : disk
dev_idtype : disk
Output didn't change back to three devices when I unplugged the stick (don't know if it should).

I should also mention that PCManFM didn't manage to mount the drive either. I disabled all of PCManFM's mounting options prior to running ldm, btw.
The drive mounts just fine via "mount /dev/sdb /mnt"

Here's the output of "lsblk -f":

NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT

├─sda1 ext4 3bf33488-0c9c-4453-b8b2-8ee1c11d0977 /

sdb vfat PATRIOT 1AA4-0AB2

Any input? I have no idea what's going on.

Its not a good idea to put file systems on the root path of devices and i suspect the problem is here.
Partition your device and then put the file system on the partition.
Your device,as it currently is,is a special case/corner case and not everybody supports it as some tools expects to see file systems
only in partitions.
