  • Right, but how do either of those options affect how it automounts? The whole point is to avoid having to explicitly mount it every time it's plugged in. Commented Apr 9, 2021 at 20:54
  • If you add correct uid and umask options to whatever is automounting your flashdrive, it should help. Alternatively, you can easily mount it manually with users option in fstab. Depends how do you do the automounting and whether you really need it. Commented Apr 10, 2021 at 10:49
  • udev is almost certainly what's doing the automounting. And I've added all I could find so far about the details of that process to the question Commented Apr 10, 2021 at 16:00
  • udev by itself doesn't do any auto-mounting, it just creates/manages devices. You can add RUN option to mount, but most likely it is something else that handles automounting for you, either autofs, udisk or something even older. But there is a chance that if you add a static entry into fstab with options, disk and directory where to mount it, those deamons might pick it up. Commented Apr 12, 2021 at 8:55
