Automounting with udev

  • 772

Currently my distribution of choice (ArchLinux) has an automounting script like this:

KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"

But that will automount only partitions up to sdX9. I do have USB drives with 6 or more partitions (that is, starting from 5, up to 12, 13, 19).

All partitions have VFAT on them and have labels (the label is used for naming the mountpoint).

I have tried to modify it to:

KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]+", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"

but that doesn't work.

So how to make it work for sdb5, sdb42 or sdb31337 likewise?

Thanks.

Addendum

I've just tried the \d+? method, udevadm monitor says:

But it doesn't work either. If I leave the default rule, sdb5-9 are mounted properly.
