Greetings,

In Xfce, can flash drives be mounted from the command line w/o superuser
privileges?


Yes, for removable drives; you can use udisks (which is what most file
manager use IIUC):
$ udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/sdXY

you can find the device (/dev/sdXY) node by examining the output of
`dmesg | tail` after plugging the flash drive.

So far, I've only mounted them from the Desktop or file manager.

Also, can they be (re)named from the command line?



To change a partition label I think you need root access.

Much thanks for both recommendations; always great to get a few more CLI tools in hand.
