I plugged in an usb and tried to mount it myself, then I realized that it was automounted at /media/username/xxxx. I was just wondering out of curiosity, which program is causing this automount? I was really looking forward to mount the usb then write to it and umount it but now I saw this. I wanted to do this myself.

What program is doing this and where can I change this so I can experiment?

EDIT: I want to be able to mount it myself through the terminal for learning purposes, that's why I don't want it to automount.

if you are using the default desktop, then it is Nautilus (the file manager) that is automounting. – ravery Sep 19 '17 at 12:45

@ravery Is it so? I first killed Nautilus from System Monitor, then plugged in a USB flash drive. It still got automounted (appeared in /media/USERNAME). – pomsky Sep 19 '17 at 13:21

You could also mouse click to unmount it and continue as planned – Academiphile Sep 19 '17 at 13:34
@DavidFoerster I edited the question, if that's what you meant. – Anton Myrberg Sep 19 '17 at 14:32
So umount it and mount it manually. What's the problem? – muru Sep 19 '17 at 14:33
