Hi,

I think you have to add the entry to /etc/fstab

Hello, everybody.

What should I do to make usb thumb disk can be automounted?

I tried to add 

    mkdir /usbdisk 0050 system sdcard_r

    mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda/sda1 /usbdisk

in  init.omap4pandaboard.rc , but it doesn't work.

I tried to add

    /dev/block/sda/sda1  /usbdisk  vfat    rw   wait

in fstab.omap4pandaboard, but it still doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to do?

Hello,

The issue probably is that you're tring to mount the drive too early -
the device on the usb bus is not ready yet (IOW, the USB has not
announced it yet to the block subsystem).
So, I would suggest to mount the usb drive via vold - add something like
this line to your /system/etc/vold.fstab:
dev_mount USB /usb auto /devices/platform/ehci-omap.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host0

Here this problem was discussed too:
