Slackware 14.2 KDE: flash drive auto mount

I am using Linux Slackware 14.2, KDE. Every time when I plug in the usb stick, I get a pop in the bottom right corner, allowing me to mount the device and open it's contents.

Attachment 24324

It is being mounted into /run/media/<device dependent name>. I use only one flash stick at a time and would like to auto-mount any flash drive into /mnt/flash as soon as it's inserted. And to disable KDE automount feature, so no popups are shown.

Anybody knows, how to do it?

Created the file /etc/udev/rules.d/auto-mount.rules:

Code:

KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="auto_mount_end"

# Import FS infos

IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"

# Get a label if present, otherwise specify one

ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"

ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"

# Global mount options

ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"

# Filesystem-specific mount options

ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,umask=002"

# Mount the device

ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mount -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /mnt/floppy"

# Clean up after removal

ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /mnt/floppy"

# Exit

LABEL="auto_mount_end"

Then ran:

Code:

udevadm control --reload-rules

Doesn't work - I inserted the stick, nothing was mounted to /mnt/floppy.

See if the original works then tweak to your liking. it might not be possible.
