yes, there is not really another way to do this. At least I couldn't
come up with one, I'm open to suggestions tough

This is mostly because I wasn't sure where else to put it, where should
it be/would you put it?

Actually, it only mounts the first, I feel like this is not what we
want. Either none or all? I'm actually not sure what we want here.

it is, relatively, depending on how often things are plugged in. It might
make sense to drop this logging (before having found a matching ds) all together?
