Now that solved one other mistery, that naged me for years. The answer is in "man udisks", and the correct udevd-rule is to be found in the arch wiki: On devuan/debian, removeable devices are mounted under /media/$USER/<SOMENAME> With this file in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-udisks2.rules, it's mounted under /media/<SOMENAME> - you don't even need to restart udevd to make it work :) # UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED # ==1: mount filesystem to a shared directory (/media/VolumeName) # ==0: mount filesystem to a private directory (/media/$USER/VolumeName) # See udisks(8) # Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udisks ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto", ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1" Nik > > I will leave this to brighter minds to enlighten us, as it is a mystery to me, > but I will be following this thread. > > Bill > ____________________________________________________ > tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ... ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
