I have an external SSD with several partitions.
After I plugged it, only the fat32 partitions are mounted in /run/media/user
The ext4 partitions are not mounted.
What can I do to have an automount of a specific (or not) ext4 partition.
Note that these partition do not show up in the file organizer
This is intentional. There's a udev rule blocking automount of ext*
partitions. See /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/64-ext4.rules
If you really want to override it, then copy that file to
/etc/udev/rules.d and change the 0 to a 1.
Thank Sam.
Keep in mind that this opens you up to various attacks
(most, if not all, of which require physical access, I
believe).
Yes, hence the "evil maid" comment in the rule file.
It's either someone plugging a USB drive into your computer or giving
you one that you plug in. If that's not a threat vector you're
concerned about, then it's fine.
