Re: [Ranger-users] automount usb

[mystiro]

You can use udisk-glue to do that, see
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man5/udisks-glue.conf.5.html

I wonder how other file managers do but I don't think that it's really part
of their features, I would bet on an external device mounter as udisk-glue.
And, in my opinion, ranger should'nt implement such a feature as I think that
it's not what a file manager is designed for.
