[arm-allstar] Having trouble accessing archiveaudio files on other machines

OK sorry about the confusion. Sometimes I do things a year ago and I forget
what I do.

Auto mounting is NOT enabled in the hamvoip release by default but it is
easy to turn on. The binary used is devmon which is already part of the
package.

Execute the following at the Linux prompt -

systemctl start devmon at root.service
systemctl enable devmon at root.service

They should return no errors.

This will make it instantly work and also work at the next and subsequent
boots as long as the card is in there at boot. If you install it after boot
it will also mount. If you want to take it out determine where it is
mounted using df - usually /dev/sda1 and  do  - umount /dev/sda1    Do not
take it out or umount while a program is using it like archivedir in
asterisk!

Configuration for this is in /etc/udevil/udevil.conf   but generally no
changes are necessary. Media is mounted by default at /media
