FAQ

Where are my partitions mounted?

At /media/media-automount/<Partition UUID>.

What filesystems does this thing support?

BTRFS and ext4 (by default).

Configuration

The generator tries to follow Systemd overriding convention.

Upper directories override lower ones. Lower directories should be used by vendors to set default configuration, whereas upper ones should be left for the system administrator.

To disable a vendor configuration, you can create a symlink pointing to /dev/null in its correspondent upper dir.

Filesystem specific

• /etc/media-automount.d/<FSTYPE>.conf
• /usr/local/lib/media-automount.d/<FSTYPE>.conf
• /usr/lib/media-automount.d/<FSTYPE>.conf

FAQ

How can I...

... exclude a specific partition?

Add it to /etc/fstab with the noauto option.

... exclude a type of filesystem?

Create a symbolic link pointing at /dev/null in /etc/automounts.d/<FSTYPE>.conf

sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/media-automount.d/ntfs.conf

... deactivate it completely?

Create a symbolic link pointing at /dev/null in /etc/automounts.d/_all.conf

sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/media-automount.d/_all.conf

Why my partition is not getting mounted?

By default, this generator ignores certain partitions (like NTFS) because they don't work well with Linux. Could it be as well that a filesystem is not configured.
