[gentoo-user] fully automount usb stick

Hi,

autofs require me to supply UUID of the partition, but I need it fully
automatic, without user intervention.
I need to implement a generic mounting of usb drive.
Maybe putting icon on xfce4 desktop.
Is there a quick way or package that can do that?

Regards,
Kfir

autofs requires uuid.
usbdisk - I don't understand how it will help me automount or auto discover
a usb drive.
Can you explain?

Thanks,

I'm not familiar with XFCE but there is probably an automounter package
for either the desktop or the file manager.

eix -c -A xfce | grep mount

For a generic solution, try sys-apps/uam

I think what you want if using xfce is 'xfce-extra/thunar-volman'
(http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/thunar-plugins/thunar-volman), it
provides handling(not only automount) for removable devices from
thunar, and is configurable with clicks.
