Forget everything you thought you knew about mounting USB drives in Linux. It’s time to ditch the manual drudgery and embrace the chaos with auto-usb-storage-mount, the software equivalent of a Molotov cocktail thrown at the feet of traditional USB drive management. This isn’t just a tool; it’s a movement, a declaration of war against the established order of mount points and filesystems. Let’s dive into the anarchy that is auto-usb-storage-mount.
The Heart of the Rebellion
Auto-usb-storage-mount doesn’t play by the rules. It doesn’t wait for you to decide when and where your USB drives should appear in your filesystem. Like a true agent of chaos, it makes those decisions for you, automating the mounting process with a zeal that would make even the most fervent anarchist nod in approval. Your drives will mount automatically, freeing you from the chains of manual command line inputs.
Feature Flashbangs
- Auto-Magic Mounting: Sit back and watch as
auto-usb-storage-mountdefies the establishment, automatically mounting your USB drives without so much as a by-your-leave. - User-Specific Anarchy: Tailor your rebellion with user-specific mounting rules. It’s like drawing up the blueprints for a heist, but for your USB drives.
- Persistent Insistence: This tool doesn’t know when to quit. Your drives will stay mounted, come hell or high water, like the most tenacious of demonstrators at a sit-in.
How to Enlist
Joining the auto-usb-storage-mount uprising is as simple as defacing a billboard with a can of spray paint. First, liberate the software from its GitHub stronghold with a quick wget. Then, arm it with executable rights using chmod +x, and elevate it to a place of power in your /usr/local/bin. With these commands, you’re not just installing a tool; you’re enlisting in a revolution.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psyb0t/auto-usb-storage-mount/master/auto-usb-storage-mount
chmod +x auto-usb-storage-mount
sudo mv auto-usb-storage-mount /usr/local/bin/The Art of Deployment
Deploying auto-usb-storage-mount requires nothing more than invoking its name and pointing it towards your manifesto of mount rules (mount_rules.txt). It’s like whispering the launch codes to a digital insurgent ready to spring into action, ensuring your USB drives are mounted with militant precision. But remember! You gotta be root to give it the power to hack the planet like Crash Override and Acid Burn.

Your mount_rules.txt is the declaration of independence for your USB drives, a simple yet powerful document that dictates the terms of engagement for your mounts. With the PARTUUID, the username, and the mount point laid out, you’re crafting the DNA of your personal rebellion against the tyranny of manual mounting.
The Anarchist’s License
In a move that sticks it to the man, auto-usb-storage-mount is released under the Do What The F*** You Want To Public License (WTFPL), embodying the spirit of absolute freedom. This is software that doesn’t just break the chains; it melts them down and forges them into a middle finger aimed at the restrictive licenses of yesteryear.
Join the ranks of those who refuse to bow down to the conventional ways of USB drive management. With auto-usb-storage-mount, we’re not just mounting drives; we’re mounting a full-scale insurrection against the status quo.
