I'd seen references to automounter, of course, but always WRT NFS, which
I don't run. I'll look into this, but at first glance it seems like it
wants to do too much. "I'll tell you when I'm done. Wait for it!"

I'll have to examine these in more detail. I don't want to have to make
a new rule for every stick I plug in, of course--got about a dozen.
Maybe they can be generalized.
I have gtkam for my camera, it manages the mount for root, but doesn't
change permissions for my user account.
One might think this sort of issue would be widespread enough to deserve
a section, or enhancement of one, in the LFS book.
