In short; create this file (* /etc/udev/rules.d/11-backup-auto-mount.rules
) *by copying and pasting the text between the start and end tags:
--- start ---
* *
KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="backup_auto_mount_end"
# Import FS infos
IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
# 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
/var/lib/asterisk/backups"
# Clean up after removal
ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l
/var/lib/asterisk/backups"
# Exit
LABEL="backup_auto_mount_end"
--- end ---
You can then insert and remove your key without touching the system. (I'm
making a lot of assumptions about FreePBX that should be correct, for
example that it uses udev).
Lots more suggestions on udev rules here:
