Hi,
Back with SpaceFM.
Is it possible to set up udevil to mount drives as a user instead of requiring root permissions?
I am working on a new version of my Debian 'distrolette' dwmX. https://sourceforge.net/projects/dwmx/
I would like user 'live' to be able to mount/unmount drives without requiring a root password.
I guess the config is udevil.conf.
I would also like a 'user' after install of my distrolette to have the same rights...
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It is so cool that you replied.
I was going to base the next dwmX on Debian Buster BUT...as I read in you thread; http://vsido.org/index.php?topic=1354.0
I experienced the same live config delay of +/-12 minutes at the end of boot...WTF...
Did you find a solution to this?
Anyway, I am trying to build the next dwmX ISO on Devuan. I still pass by VSIDO from time to time...keep up the great work!

Edit the udevil configuration file /etc/udevil/udevil.conf
and make sure in the section on:
allowed_internal_devices causes udevil to treat any listed block devices as
removable, thus allowing normal users to un/mount them (providing they are
also listed in allowed_devices).
Has this as the last line and that it is uncommented
allowed_internal_devices = /dev/*
