====== Automount USB and HDD ======
Created Saturday 31 December 2016

**We'll need **//Udisk2//** to read/write to our external devices and **//Udevil//** to automatic mount the devices when plugged in. We'll also add some extra partition scheme support - **//fat//** and **//ntfs//** to be specific. **

== Usage ==
**# Once the installation steps below has been completed, devices should mount automatic. **
**# Devices will be mounted at **///media/<USER_NAME>/<DEVICE_NAME>//

**# You need to manual unmount the device once you're done (always do this before unplugging)**
$ udevil unmount /media///<USER_NAME>/////<DEVICE_NAME>//

== Installation ==
**# For **//ntfs //**and **//fat//** support **
$ pacman -S ntfs-3g dosfstools

**# For mount/auto-mount **
$ pacman -S udisks2 udevil

**# Remove the SUID permission from **//Udevil //**(with sudo)**
$ chmod u+s,go-s,ugo+x /usr/bin/udevil

**# Enable the service file, taking the **//username//** as an argument **
$ systemctl enable devmon@//<USER_NAME>//.service

**# Create a file in **///etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-udevil.rules//
