1. create an udev-rule for automounting devices (arch linux wiki has a lot of examples for this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev#Auto_mounting_USB_devices 2. watch /media/ for new devices This is how I would do it...step 1 is already accomplished ;) I think it's way more clever to let udev do the hardware and related system work (=mounting).
