Automount USB drives

automount-usb's Issues

mount /dev/sda

not a real issue but a littel annoying

if you for ex have a device that gives you the /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 it dont get mounted.
like this example

does anyone have a good idea for how to solve this ?

what would be a better approach ?

In the docs it states "use libudev".

Do you mean Linux's internal udev system ? or a C library known as libudev ?

How would it be different than what you are doing ? since you are using usb subsystem anyway.

prevents system from boot when disk in inserted

I have tried this approach (with systemd and 99 rues) on raspberry pi and it works perfectly but when USB disk is inserted it hangs during reboot (soft and hard) - any idea why it might be? I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out but no luck.

Dietpi/RPi Kernel not matching udev rule

OS: dietpi v8.12 (which is a debian distro, kernal v 5.15.76), 64bit version on RPi4.

The udev rule for the SD drive is set to sd[a-z]*[0-9], but on this system, the USB drive is detected as sda and therefore doesn't match and the USB mounting doesn't happen.

I haven't gone back to check, but I am 99% sure this was working with the 32bit version of the OS.

Changing the match to sd* resolved my problem. Note that changing it to sd[a-z]*[0-9]* did not solve the problem.

Unable to read the Label if the partition name have space in it

First thanks for your great job!

And I got the following problem!
If the partition name have blank space in it like below , the Label can't be get through the script

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name                          Flags
 1      17.4kB  134MB   134MB                Microsoft reserved partition  msftres
 2      135MB   4001GB  4001GB  ntfs         Basic data partition          msftdata

So I change the partition name without blank space and the script worked again !
