Hello everybody,

I can't speak for Thunar or any other graphical file manager, but I 
think many file managers do in some way or another support File System 
in Userspace (FUSE).

I use Udisks to mount storage media without "sudo".

In my operating system definition, I add my user to the fuse group:

   (users
    (cons* (user-account (name "nschmidt")
  		       (group "users")
  		       (supplementary-groups '("fuse" "wheel")))
  	 %base-user-accounts))
   
   (groups
    (cons* (user-group (name "fuse"))
  	 %base-groups))
   
   (packages
    (append
     (list fuse gvfs udisks)
     %base-packages))

For this I had to add:

  (use-service-modules desktop)
  (use-package-modules freedesktop ; udisks
  		     gnome  ; gvfs
  		     linux) ; fuse

Mounting and unmounting goes like so:

  $ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb
  Mounted /dev/sdb at /media/nschmidt/3437-6CE7.

  $ udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb

(Use lsblk to find out the block device node path /dev/sdX.)

I am not sure if this is of any help with Thunar. Currently, I do not 
have a storage medium at hand to test either.


Best regards
Niklas
