I don't use auto mounting as a way to mount drives when I plug them in. I use it to mount drives with a single click in thunar. I work on a lot of data recovery. Which is why I wanted faster NTFS mount options. I guess I'll need to just use gnome-disks/fstab for my backup drives. Unless udevil can hook into thunar. Thank you for your time.
