Often, you may want to automate things when connecting a USB drive (USB Stick, external USB harddisk) to your computer. Typical use cases are:

    * you want to copy images from a flash drive to your photo collection, delete them on the usb drive, and show them automatically
    * you connect a USB harddisk to the computer and the computer should backup some data to it
    * you connect an encrypted usb store and want the system to mount the encrypted harddisk

This used to be done with hotplug but in later linux distros is done using udev and module-init-tools.

What you need to do is setup a script that is triggered when the device is plugged in.
