Hello,
To ensure your USB drive mounts with read-write access using udev rules, you can create or modify a udev rule to specify the desired mount options. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
-
Identify the USB Drive:
- First, plug in your USB drive and use the
lsblkordmesgcommand to identify the device name (e.g.,/dev/sda1).
- First, plug in your USB drive and use the
-
Create a Udev Rule:
- Create a new udev rule file in
/etc/udev/rules.d/, for example,99-usb-mount.rules. - Add a rule to match your USB drive and specify the mount options. Here’s an example rule:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}!="", RUN+="/usr/bin/mount -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/%k /media/%E{ID_FS_LABEL}" - This rule mounts the USB drive with read-write permissions and sets the owner to a specific user (replace
uid=1000,gid=1000with the appropriate user and group IDs).
- Create a new udev rule file in
-
Reload Udev Rules:
- After creating or modifying the rule, reload the udev rules with the following commands:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules sudo udevadm trigger
- After creating or modifying the rule, reload the udev rules with the following commands:
-
Test the Configuration:
- Unplug and replug your USB drive to test if it mounts with the specified options.
This approach allows you to manage USB drive mounting behavior without modifying /etc/fstab, maintaining the dynamic creation and deletion of mount points based on the drive’s presence.
I hope this helps you achieve the desired functionality for your USB drive.
