[arch-general] alternative to pmount
Last week pmount went from extra to aur. I used to use pmount to allow users to mount external devices as simple as: pmount /dev/sdb1 Is there an alternative to pmount in core, extra or community that allows users to mount with a simple command an external storage device?

You can use udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 from an active local session (or use the old group to make it work for remote/inactive sessions too - if you really want that).

Interestingy, a thread in the forums with the exact same title came up recently. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154939 The answer there was also udevil, but it was pointed out also that udisks can be used in this fashion as well. -- Curtis Shimamoto sugar.and.scruffy@gmail.com
