I wrote a small C program a while ago that automounts removable devices using udisks2 [1]. I've been using it for a while, and it seems to work well. You might find it useful; it's in the AUR at [2]. It optionally will use desktop notifications to tell you when something is mounted (I use dunst [3] to display them). You do have to manually unmount devices using the terminal, but that's usually easier if you have good tab completion in your shell. -Tom [1]: https://github.com/tom5760/usermount [2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/usermount-git/ [3]: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/dunst/
