Just wanted to let you know udiskie with th following commands: udiskie -2 -t -A -F udiskie -2 -t -A -f xfe Functionally it provides what I was looking for. With "-A" you can notice I was not really much interested on the "auto" mount, but rather in the ability to be able to easily mount/umount at will with a click. The tray icon is great for that. The "man" page indicates "-f" is depricated, though I hope one will be able to select what to browse the media with... What I'm missing is notifications, given I do not have desktop notifications server enabled [1]. Notice pcmanfm didn't require to enable such server, though not sure how they handled to notify without it (as pidgin and several other tools do notify as well without any notification server installed). As I don't have any notification server (I do have libnotify though), I get: Failed to show notification: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files I can live with that, given usually one mounts after plugging a device. I'll evaluate if installing dunst (which Ralph wanted to disable instead) or xfce4-notifyd, but for now I won't do anything with that. Even though it's python based, one doesn't really feel it slow, which is good. I wonder if there's something similar written in C++ or C though, to play with it. For now I'm happy udiskie offers the functionality I was looking for. Another thing pending is the known issue with green HDDs, and if it's not an issue for usdiskie, or rather it's an issue for anything using udisks2. Thanks to all, -- Javier [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_notifications#Standalone
