I have been using udev for f8 and I need a script that mounts external usb, firewire drives and esata drives and increments the number cause more than 1 drive will be attached to the server.

I have at present been able to mount and unmount firewire drive but not sure how i increment the mount number. Also I have various servers and it should search the network to see automatically that a new drive is attached when a simple mount command is typed no user interaction.

any ideas will be great.

currently i have
# Mount drive on udev 'ACTION==add'
mkdir -p "/mnt/drive"$a
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/drive
echo "Your drive is now mounted have fun!!"
and
unmount in another script i have
#!/bin/bash
# Unmount drive on udev 'ACTION==remove'
umount /mnt/drive

works well but too simple for what i want it too do.
many thanks

Your script needs to count how many mounted drives there are first and then +1 using expr/bc. Here is an example of what I mean. In my test directory I have created a.txt and b.txt, so there are 2 .txt files. I'm using expr to add 1 and outputting what the result would be:
