Automatically Mounting Using udiskie

Starting method: manual ('exec-once')

USB mass storage devices, like thumb drives, mobile phones, digital cameras, etc. do not mount automatically to the file system.

Typically, we have to manually mount them, often using root and umount to do so.

Many popular DEs automatically handle this by using udisks2 wrappers.

udiskie is a udisks2 front-end that allows to manage removable media such as CDs or flash drives from userspace.

Install udiskie via your repositories, or build manually

Head over to your ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf and add the following lines:

exec-once = udiskie &

This launches udiskie and the & argument launches it in the background.
