setting default mount point directory about udiskie HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey,
udiskie uses UDisks2 as a backend to perform the mount operation. The UDisks API has no parameter to customize the mount location (I guess: security concerns), so this can't be done in udiskie. See also #1.
There might be configuration in UDisks2 to customize the mount points but I don't know about that.
You could create a symlink to the directory, you want to user. I.e. something like

sudo rmdir /var/run/media/your_username
sudo ln -s /media /var/run/media/your_username

EDIT:
You can also try out the udev rule as suggested in this thread.

Ok, I finally took the time to look at the UDisks2 source to see if anything can be done about this issue. In the function src/udiskslinuxfilesystem.c:calculate_mount_point one can see that the locations are indeed hard coded. Setting the UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED environment variable (for the UDisks process, not for udiskie!) will yield the old behaviour, i.e. mount everything in /media.
If you want a way to customize the mount point, you should contact the udisks devs (if there is not already an issue about this).

I hope, I could be of some help.

Best regards,

Well, I hoped to find a config file like in udevil, but ok.

I found something here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udisks

if you add this new file in udev rules should work:

1. create a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-udisks2.rules
2. copy&paste this line and save

    # UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED
    # ==1: mount filesystem to a shared directory (/media/VolumeName)
    # ==0: mount filesystem to a private directory (/run/media/$USER/VolumeName)
    # See udisks(8)
    ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto", ENV{UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED}="1"

1. attach your usb drive and check if now udiskie mount in /media

bye

@coldfix UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED is a udev environment variable -- it doesn't work as an environment variable for udisksd or udisksctl (I tried).
