how to mount with udisks to specified directory

Question

I have ubuntu 12.04 and I need a portable solution (to work on various linux systems) and to be in my user's home directory for mounting a partition after login or after boot.

From what I searched on web I saw that using udisks is the best solution but what I did not find is how to mount the auxiliary partition to a specified mount point (directory path)

What I have so far is (by device name):

/usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sdbX

or (by uuid):

/usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/1313-F422

but there is no example on how to specify the mount point.

For me, it is mandatory to have a specific directory target (/media/AUX/ for example).

Is there a way to do this (not necessarily using udisks) ?

Solution

udisks won't mount your partitions like this. Moreover if you want persistent mount I'd suggest to edit /etc/fstab to add:

UUID=YOUR_OWN_PARTITION_UUID /media/AUX/ ext4 defaults 0 0

Note: edit /etc/fstab using sudo as it requires root privileges

Then reboot to see your drive / partition properly mounted

@ungalcrys does the above meet your criterion? If not, why? I'd love to help

the portable solution refers to the script file or configuration needed to have the job done (mount the device to a specified directory) but not using the sudo and preferably changes must be in my home directory

@ungalcrys When reading your original question I find the statement "For me, it is mandatory to have a specific directory target (/media/AUX/ for example)." 1) sudo is not required for the answer I provided and 2) "preferably changes must be in my home directory" wasn't in the question. If it's mandatory to have access from your home directory, make a link to /media/AUX in your home directory. I hope this helps.
