Use provided FreeBSD Ports/packages from here:

• sysutils/automount

.. or make manual unstallation:

cp automount.conf /usr/local/etc/automount.conf

cp automount_devd.conf /usr/local/etc/devd/automount_devd.conf

cp automount /usr/local/sbin/automount

chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/automount

/etc/rc.d/devd restart

Now plugin Your USB thumb drive and have fun ;)

These ports/packages are needed for all filesystems:

• sysutils/e2fsprogs // EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 fsck(8)
• sysutils/xfsprogs // XFS fsck(8)
• sysutils/exfat-utils // exFAT exfatfsck(8)
• sysutils/fusefs-exfat // exFAT
• sysutils/fusefs-ntfs // NTFS (read write support)
• sysutils/fusefs-hfsfuse // HFS
• sysutils/fusefs-lkl // XFS/EXT2/EXT3/EXT4
• sysutils/fusefs-simple-mtpfs // MTP

All of the above are available as pkg(8) packages.

Shortcut:

pkg install -y \

sysutils/e2fsprogs           \
sysutils/xfsprogs            \
sysutils/exfat-utils         \
sysutils/fusefs-exfat        \
sysutils/fusefs-ntfs         \
sysutils/fusefs-hfsfuse      \
sysutils/fusefs-lkl          \
sysutils/fusefs-simple-mtpfs

% /usr/local/sbin/automount --help AUTOMOUNT is a devd(8) based automounter for FreeBSD.

It supports following file systems: UFS/FAT/exFAT/NTFS/EXT2/EXT3/EXT4/MTP/HFS/ISO9660

Add these to mount NTFS/exFAT/EXT4/HFS/XFS/MTP respectively: o sysutils/fusefs-ntfs o sysutils/fusefs-exfat o sysutils/fusefs-ext4fuse o sysutils/fusefs-hfsfuse o sysutils/fusefs-lkl o sysutils/fusefs-simple-mtpfs

By default it mounts/unmounts all removable media but it is possible to set some additional options at the /usr/local/etc/automount.conf config file.

Below is a list of possible options with description.

MNT_PREFIX (set to /media by default)
