Just posting something I discovered recently in case anybody's interested...

On a Jessie system without systemd you can mount USB sticks and other
removable media using the pmount command, as others have pointed out on
this list.  I was looking for a gui method, and I've found it.  Spacefm
is a file manager that will use any of the following to mount removable
media:

udevil
pmount
udisks2 (depends on libpam-systemd)
udisks

I've tested its use with pmount and udevil and they both work.  I find
udevil a bit nicer, because I was able to get the mount point to be
/media/$USER/label by setting the following in /etc/udevil/udevil.conf:

allowed_media_dirs = /media/$USER

I'm not claiming that this is a perfect solution.  For instance, spacefm
and udevil are currently unmaintained.  But I thought some folks on this
list would be interested to know about this option anyway.
