**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 26 02:59:56 2022 Nov 26 11:37:35 I think it is much better to use udev to mount partitions , it can be that it was formated without partition e.g one would need to mount /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1 in such situations Nov 26 11:38:42 A second problem with hardcoding is that if the disk gets removed while in use the linux kernel will keep references to /dev/sda something and when you insert the stick again it will become /dev/sdbX Nov 26 18:44:59 you can't directly mount a filesystem from udev though Nov 26 18:45:41 but yeah, hardcoding the assumption it's /dev/sda1 is not ideal Nov 26 18:46:30 unless you meant use udev to get notified of the appearance of block devices so you can mount them **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Nov 27 02:59:57 2022
