automatically mount connected devices via udev
The task of automatically mounting flash drives is solved quite simply in KDE or GNOME - these environments can be configured so that they themselves mount everything, open the file manager and show the tray icon. But what if you only have a console or is, for example, awesome? Or you do not want to deal with a specific DE, but looking for a universal solution?
There is a solution independent of DE - udev .
Create a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/automount.rules with the following contents:
We indicate to udev that a new rule has appeared:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
Result I
insert a USB flash drive and I see the directory / mnt / KINGMAX_Flash_Disk_1, in which the contents of the USB flash drive. Unmount and remove - the directory is gone.
Remarks
1. KERNEL == “sd [cz] [0-9]” - this means that it will work on all devices of the form / dev / sdc1 / dev / sdc2, / dev / sdg7. I have 2 hard drives: sda and sdb, so I started regex with "c".
2. mount -o uid = 1000 - the id of the user is protected, which will be the owner. If yours is not standard, then correct it (check id -u). Of course, you can act through groups and masks, but I chose the simplest solution.
umount I
unmounted the problem (I need superuser rights) as follows:
1. sudo visudo
2. add the line% wheel ALL = NOPASSWD: / bin / umount
upd
As darkk noted, ID_VENDOR = "; / bin / rm -rf /;" - a potential security hole, therefore it is better to play it safe at the expense of visibility:
