Is there possibility we can auto mount a usb when connected to usb host ? Any leads will be appreciated since tricks for x86 based systems might not work to fullest for custom embedded ARM env due to missing packages.

Hi NPal.2 (Community Member) 

Have you tried already: sudo apt-get install usbmount

Is there no usbmount package under 2.0 dunfell InRelease?

I cannot install it, due to not found error...

Hi @VRoma.2​ ,

the package usbmount doesn't exist in OpenSTLinux distribution. However, could you make a try with the package udev-extraconf please? This package exists in 2.0.

root@stm32mp1:~# apt-get install udev-extraconf

I did a test with OpenSTLinux 3.1 and my USB key is auto-mounted under /run/media/sda1. This is the output I got :

When unplugging the usb key, the key is un-mounted:

root@stm32mp1:/run/media/sda1# cd
root@stm32mp1:~# umount /run/media/sda1
root@stm32mp1:~# [  706.654509] usb 2-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 6
