This seems like a simple question to me, but after two nights of searching and tinkering, I haven't been able to find anything promising.
I am running a headless Ubuntu server. I want to be able to stick a DVD or BD in my external drive, and have the server immediately begin ripping it.
I read about HAL, but it looks like that's no longer supported, so I didn't investigate very far.
It seemed like UDEV was the way to go, but upon experimenting, I found that UDEV doesn't seem to generate events when an optical disk is inserted-- only mounted.
So I gave autofs a try, and haven't had much luck with that either. It doesn't mount when I put the disk in, and I get errors on startup complaining about "mountall: Event failed".
What's the right way to do this?
