The standard mechanism used for dealing with removable media is udisks, used by desktop environments like KDE and Xfce to allow non-root users to mount disks. It can also be used from the command-line, e.g. $ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1 Mounted /dev/sdb1 at /run/media/eelco/USBSTICK. Udisks doesn't mount disks automatically on insertion, but this could be done by having a script that listens for the D-Bus messages sent by udisks and then asks udisks to do the mount. In fact, there already is a package that does this: https://github.com/fernandotcl/udisks-glue but it's not in Nixpkgs yet. -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
