[ This is Background Research, just in case such might later be needed? ]
Just FWIW a decade later there are now (plausible?) alternatives to usbmount (e.g. pi-usb-automount below, not just devmon included with udevil) that we could hypothetically consider in future? e.g. if worst case usbmount proves insufficient for community needs &/or inadequately maintained:
-
pi-usb-automountis "USB flash drive automounting for a headless/console-only Raspberry Pi."
https://github.com/fasteddy516/pi-usb-automount -
Description: "This is a modified version of udev-media-automount created specifically for use with Raspberry Pis and USB flash drives when a full desktop environment is not installed. (i.e. Raspberry Pi OS Lite, headless installations, kiosk and other purpose-built applications, etc.)
Once pi-usb-automount is installed, a USB drive will be automatically mounted and accessible in /media/usb0 when it is connected, and will be automatically unmounted when it is removed. If multiple USB drives are connected, they will appear as usb1, usb2, etc."
