Automount USB before array starts


Recommended Posts

So, I bought a hardware encrypted flash drive. The plan is to store my key file on it, so it can autostart my encrypted array after a reboot, but lock the drive when the device is powered down (in case of theft).

 

I've looked at a lot of tutorials, but most of them show how to mount a network share that hosts your key file. If I toggle auto-mount on the USB drive in unassigned devices, it only mounts the usb drive when the array starts.

 

Is there a way to mount the drive before the array starts, so I can read my key file off of it?
