>keyword is hotplugd(8), includes example. And what does happen if someone uses the example and then unplugs that device? Then one has a mount with the block device used for it vanished. Even if I mount things manually and even if I forget to unmount it just once (e.g. an USB stick or an USB harddisk), my system is hosed. Not even a forced unmount works any more (at least last time I did that). Had to shutdown now, umount everything else so I had less unclean filesystems (remount the root fs readonly) and then reboot. amd, OTOH, would unmount the fs soon after it isn't used any more (which can be lucky enough to be before it's unplugged). And on trying to use it it would try to mount it which would either succeed (if it's plugged) or not (if it's not (yet) plugged). Kind regards, Hannah.
