Based on https://github.com/raamsri/automount-usb (you may also be interested in https://github.com/Ferk/udev-media-automount which saw some bug fixes in 2022)
On inserting an USB drive, automounts the drive at /media/ as a directory named by device label; just the device name if label is empty: /media/usbtest, /media/sdd
Can also call usb-mount.sh manually without the automatic udev/systemd rules. Logs to stderr and system log (see logger notes below).
Tracks the list of mounted drives in /var/log/usb-mount.track
When device is unplugged (without umount), script will auto-unmount and remove the mount point directory under /media
Uses logger to log the actions in /var/log/messages (/var/log/syslog) with tag 'usb-mount.sh'
Please do not expect it to perfectly handle all your needs. Be warned, minimally tested; okay for temporary plug-ins but certainly not recommended for enclosures with longer TTL.
- bash (dash might work, but currently expects bash to be installed)
- logger
- any file system driver/tools (e.g. ntfs-3g)
- udev
- systemd
Debian based distributions (like Armbian) typically have all requirements already installed with the exception of ntfs-3g file system support/
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
To setup, run CONFIGURE.sh with sudo or as root:
sudo ./CONFIGURE.sh
This will update/add (or create if not already present) /etc/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules
REMOVE.sh to undo the setup:
sudo ./REMOVE.sh
This will update /etc/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules
