Mount hard drive on boot

David Lamerton 2010-09-02 10:03:03 Link
Hello Everyone,

I have attached an external hard drive to my M2440 (running Android) and it
is working from the console. I can mount it and see everything on it ok.

I am trying to get it to be automatically mounted when the system boots up.
I tried adding mount... to the on boot section of the init.rc file but it
does not seem to have any effect.

Does anyone know if this is the right way to do it or is there a better way
that actually works?

Thanks for reading!

Dave

/etc/fstab ?

Thanks Madmax,

I was under the impression that fstab wasn't used on the Android platform,
have I got this wrong? Do I just need to make some entries in fstab and it
will automatically get mounted?

Dave
