11:37 <keesj> I think it is much better to use udev to mount partitions , it can be that it was formated without partition e.g one would need to mount /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1 in such situations

11:38 <keesj> A second problem with hardcoding is that if the disk gets removed while in use the linux kernel will keep references to /dev/sda something and when you insert the stick again it will become /dev/sdbX

18:44 <zmatt> you can't directly mount a filesystem from udev though

18:45 <zmatt> but yeah, hardcoding the assumption it's /dev/sda1 is not ideal

18:46 <zmatt> unless you meant use udev to get notified of the appearance of block devices so you can mount them
