Auto-mounting USB storage with udev ( https://www.axllent.org/docs/view/auto-mounting-usb-storage/ ) Simply create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules with the following: KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end" # Import FS infos IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N" # Get a label if present, otherwise specify one ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}" ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k" # Global mount options ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime" # Filesystem-specific mount options ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,umask=002" # Mount the device ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}" # Clean up after removal ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/%E{dir_name}" # Exit LABEL="media_by_label_auto_mount_end" Once you have created your script and saved it, reload udev with: udevadm control --reload-rules Now, when you connect the USB storage device, udev should automatically create a directory under /media with either the device ID, or device label (if you have assigned one), and mount the device. If you disconnect the device, the drive directory (in /media) will be automatically removed. mit zusätzlich udisks2 besser aber: ntfs kein Zugriff
