Yes I understood that, my comment was more a general comment about
having externally connected local storage than a specific comment to
your previous post.

I wonder how hot plug based NAS boxes handles it ?
Would it be possible to do something similar to those ?
Or does that rely on specific hardware which is able to give the right
trigger to the OS ?

Feels like it would make sense to at least mount them automatically in
readonly mode ?
Just to make it easier for a non technical user who just want to attach
a local storage ?

I haven't really kept up with the latest goals of the Squeeze on Arch
software, is the goal to create a player or is the goal also to create a
LMS server ?
If the goal is just to create a player it feels like the focus should be
primarily on player related configuration and then mounting of local
storage can safely be a bit more technical, but if the goal is also to
create a LMS server it feels more important to handle these matters in a
more user friendly way.
