Say you are using udiskie [1], you can put a rule in the config file, to specify your device as readonly, like this: ~/.config/udiskie/config.yml: mount_options: - id_uuid: E457-0FC9 options: [ro] where you have to put the UUID of your filesystem. (disclaimer, I'm the maintainer of udiskie) If you want to keep a simpler solution with an udev rule, which tool do you use for mounting - udisksctl? In this case: `udisksctl mount` accepts a parameter `--options=ro` to achieve the same. You could show me your current rule and script, so we can figure out how to modify that.

I found this mailing list when I was searching for what I wanted to accomplish. I saw someone was submitting a patch to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish, however, the patch wasn't accepted (for various reasons). I thought maybe the fellow members could help me or point me in the right direction so I can get help for my problem. I'm not certain that this is the proper mailing list to ask for help, and if it's not, I apologize. Perhaps someone could show me a more fitting mailing list? I want a certain thumb drive to always auto-mount as read-only, but only that thumb drive. I tried writing a custom udev rule and I got it to the point where I inputed just that thumb drive, it'd execute a script. When I removed it, it'd execute another script. I tried calling mount and unmount from those scripts, I tried using udisksctl to mount the thumb drive, but they don't work at that stage of the process and fail. I followed a tutorial on Arch Linux's website that says how to use mount in a udev rule, by changing MountFlags to shared in some file called systemd-udev.service or something like that. That didn't allow me to use the mount command. The most important part is the thumb drive needs to mount under the /run/media/<username>/<fs label>. I really want that. Otherwise, I could just setup an fstab entry. Does anyone know how to accomplish what I want to accomplish? I'm running OpenSuSE Tumbleweed and Gnome. I believe I have udisks2 installed. I'm fairly new to this, so again, I apologize if I'm not providing the right information. Thanks!
