Hence:
- how can I safely remove all mounts on a connection loss (to prevent data corruption)? I tried to make a udev/rules.d entry for a script but it said "the directory is in use" and didn't allow to execute.
- how can I remount the drive once the drive is connected again? I also tried to add a rules.d script with
