Odd, that`s the same thing as putting the mount line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Puppy does do odd things at times though...

Bug: Rox bookmarks are not removed.
Bug: Some times when Auto-drive makes what seems too be, an infinity symbolic link to the mount point of the flash drive (Don't know whether other drives are affected because I only use flash drives.) in the root of the drive.
Feature Request: Auto mount all drives on start-up. When a CL parameter is used on lunch of auto-drive.

Hi abushcrafter; AutoDrive and HotPup conflict with each other as they both do the same job.
HotPup needs to be turned off for AutoDrive to work properly.

Years ago I wrote an app. to select drives to mount at bootup.

Many have asked that all drives ( including USB ) be mounted always.
You would think that it would be an option for the Puppy bootup...

also in

/etc/eventmanager

change
#true if want an automatic 'handler' to run if a drive plugged in...
HOTPLUGNOISY="false"

to

#true if want an automatic 'handler' to run if a drive plugged in...

and to auto-unmount when not in use

Hi disciple; I think the thought was to have Puppy behave like M$ Winblows.
Then the Pmount app. wouldn`t be necessary. Noobs want to simplify it.

Hi technosaurus; Thanks for the cues, I need to know how HotPup sets up the USB modules.
If I turn all of HotPup off, the USBs won`t mount. I had it years ago but the USB setup has changed.

abushcrafter; I found my old app., but it doesn`t want to run with Puppy511`s Xdialog.
Not a big surprise... Most of my old apps. won`t run any more.
I`ll look at it and fix it when I get a chance and post it... T.

@big_bass your mount_all script does not work. It failed to mount my flash drive and a partition on my hard drive (The other partition has puppy on it so it is already mounted.). Its also tried to mount my swap partition. Here are the errors:
