Automounting USB storage devices for desktop
Is there any way to automount USB storage devices to use FreeBSD as a desktop system?
I tried the automount, automounter and volman sysutils/ports. I configured /usr/local/etc and ran services. I just got the manual mount with vmount(volman) through the console. |

Is there some specific issue you have with any of those? People seem to use them effectively.
I prefer to write my own devd script. Maybe this links will help: devd automounting

As example
Code:

This FreeBSD thread may be of some help. The first partition looks to be NTFS and it appears the
# ntfs-3g /dev/ntfs/disklabelgoeshere /mnt/mountpoint works albeit with a decrement in performance.

Automatic?
According to the script, seems to use the label for the type of file system to mount. In my opinion, this is impractical because it requires manual intervention. This is not automatic, do I need to run glabel?. I do not make a script for over a decade and could be wrong.
Automount.sh: Code:
Line 264: echo $(file -b -L -s ${DEV} | sed -E 's/label:\ \".*\"//g') |
