You can edit your /etc/fstab and add the following line to do this easily. But you may understand the risks of doing so.

LABEL=flash /media/where_will_be_mounted vfat defaults 0 0

Ok, lets boil down each option:

• LABEL=flash: tells the system to mount any driver with the label flash


• /media/where_will_be_mounted: Self-explanatory, you should already have the path created before mounting.


• vfat: you said the filesystem will be FAT always, if it's not FAT it will fail.


• defaults: This set up the driver with the default mount options for the filesystem, equivalent to rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,nouser,async. The important part here is the auto, that tells the system to mount automatically the filesystem when mount -a is issued, like it does at boot.


• 0: They are dump and fscheck options, you most likely won't want this.
