When I plug flashdrive it gets automounted. Upon web searching I found only two ways it's done in Linux: autofs and using systemd.
E.g. rather recent (2017) post: systemd-automount-vs-autofs
However, I could not find neither autofs installed nor file /etc/systemd/system/mnt-scratch.automount (no files with auto in /etc/systemd).
/etc/fstab also does not have any info on automount, just fixed filesystems.
I want to change options of file system being automounted like in fstab. How to find out how automouting is done and change options?
P.S. I'm using Linux Mint now but knowing more general way to do the task is preferred.

@Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, thank you I can do that after inserting particular USB-stick. My confusion was initially bacause I could not change options for SD-card reader (and still don't know how), but for ordinary USB it works.

You can't do it for the adapter, you have to do it for the media.

In Linux Mint udisks2.service exists is intended for monitoring disks. Also it does automount for new plugged disks. Just disable it:
systemctl stop udisks2.service
Then you will be mount disks partitions by hand.
Disable autostart (over systemctl disable udisks2.service) if you want disable it for further boots.

Interestingly starting Disks startsudisks2.service. Never played withsystemctl disablebefore - command wrote nothing, enable command wrotecreated symlink, disabling again wroteremoved symlink- why different output ofdisablethan first time?

It seems service was not enabled. Is automount capability exists when you disabled (stop before) service?

Computer did automounting, udisks2 was loaded and active (I didsystemctl -abefore doing actions) and I have not played with it before, After your post I first stopped it then disabled. Now doing in sequence enabling, start, stop and disabling writesremoved sysmlinkon disabling step.

What type of FS have you mounted? ForfatFScodepage=andioscharset=options exists. ForntfsFS onlyiocharset=exists.
