What’s the easiest way to make external USB drives automount, without adding them to fstab? It should just work even if someone else hands me their flash drive.
I’m running sway on Arch if that matters.
WTF? I’m automounting my home directory from an external ssd usb for ages now. What is the disaster that could happen you’re referring to?
If that’s the case, then you should answer the OP with how it’s set up. OP is specifically asking how to do it with random drives other people hands them, not trusted drives always connected.

Auto mounting random USB sticks has never been wise. No telling what random malware they contain.
