Re: [DNG] For all you automounter programmers

Someone said they wanted a non-gui way to mount removable devices by label. Here it is. Let me know if it works for you or not. (It's working well here.) I'll add support for labels in the gui pmounter, too. https://gist.github.com/fsmithred/81a4e1585175c377c32ed2f670ab9ef3 -fsr

Problem to come with pmount is, it doesn't seem to be maintained any longer. I use version 0.9.99-alpha-1 (in experimental at 25 Mar 2011, still there, install to Jessie). That one handles "loopback" and luks files, far as I know earlier versions did not, or not properly. D On 27 April 2016 at
