Automatically Mounting Using udiskie

Starting method: manual ('exec-once')

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

Typically, they have to be manually mounted, 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 package manager, or build manually

Head over to your hyprland.conf and add the following line:

exec-once = udiskie
