what would be a better approach ?

[sourcevault]

In the docs it states "use libudev".

Do you mean Linux's internal udev system ? or a C library known as libudev ?

How would it be different than what you are doing ? since you are using usb subsystem anyway.

I ended up removing this note from the readme in my branch https://github.com/clach04/automount-usb - I personally think using udev (which is what this does) is a better solution than rather than writing C, etc. code to call libudev directly.

BTW thanks @raamsri for making this available, there are a few tools similar to this (e.g. https://github.com/Ferk/udev-media-automount) this one fits my use case best (and its easy to hack to customize).
