Beginners Questions • What commands does Thunar use to mount drives?

Automount is a Security issue. Only Admin should be able to mount a drive and do it through the terminal:

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Useramesudo umount /dev/sdb1 /media/Username

At least on the default gnome installation the automount part is implemented in gnome and you can disable it there (org/gnome/desktop/media-handling automount=false).

When you mount USB drives through udisks, the mountpoint is protected with an ACL that prevent unauthorized users from tampering with the drive contents. If you have FAT filesystem on a USB drive and use the above command then even the "nobody" user can see contents of your USB drive and even write to it.
