Description Helge Hielscher 2015-07-31 20:25:41 CEST

Description of problem: it would be nice if one could set the mount options that are used when plugging in a USB-drive or memory card.

Personally I would like to disable write cache on SD-Cards.

Reproducible:

@ Helge

You added "drakconf" (MCC) as source RPM, so I assume you'd like to have a selectable option "disable write cache" in 

MCC => Local disks => Manage disk partitions => Toggle to expert mode => Options

Is that correct?

@ pterjan

Am I wrong to think ticking the "sync" option disables write cache?

No this bug is not about diskdrake as it currently exists.

It is about removable media that gets mounted automatically to 
/run/media/$USERNAME/$MEDIANAME (or sth. like that)

IINM, udev handles that, and udev is now merged into systemd.

So you'd like a tool in MCC, with which you can add or change a udev rule for when a flash medium gets inserted, correct?

Yes, I would like to have a GUI option in MCC somewhere where I can change how flash media gets mounted.
