Auto-unmount USB drive












1














I used to work for a long time with ubuntu 10.10 and I changed to a recent machine so I had to move to Ubuntu 13.04. One feature I'm now missing is the auto umount of usb drives.
I've not been able to find easy info on internet.

  • Since there is no question, shouldn't this be on a personal blog?

pubpub solution (after I edited his question):




Creating /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb-autounmount.rules:



# Auto-unmount USB storage (on remove):
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger auto umounting %k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/bin/umount /dev/%k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd??", RUN+="/bin/umount -lf /dev/%k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd???", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger auto umounting %k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd???", RUN+="/bin/umount /dev/%k"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/sd???", RUN+="/bin/umount -lf /dev/%k"*


Of course you still have to be carefull about opened files mainly in
writing.



Hope it will help others.
