Any other suggestion? After further research I made it work, for reference: Clean install the usbmount via a self-compiled.

Search an available mountpoint. Determine mount options. Mount the filesystem. Determine vendor and model. Run hook scripts; ignore errors. No suitable mount point found. A block or partition device has been removed. Test if it is mounted. If the mountpoint and filesystem type are maintained by.
Therefore, USBmount requires a 2. USBmount is intended as a lightweight solution which is independent of a desktop environment. Users which would like an icon to appear when an USB device is plugged in should use other alternatives. Users should be aware that, independently of the filesystem used by the mass storage device, ANY filesystem that resides in flash memory will become unreadable after some time.
This unfortunate situation is intrinsic to the storage medium and better quality flash drives perform a "wear levelling" operation, distributing the load of operations across the whole device. Filesystems using flash memory and mounted with the sync option can degrade earlier due to the fact that the sync mount option forces the operating system to write data more frequently to the device than if it were mounted without the sync option.
So, why mount filesystems with the sync option then? The reason is to keep the written data on the drive reflecting what the user thinks is on the flash drive, and, more importantly, to avoid the problem of the user unplugging the device before it is finished receiving data that the kernel has on the memory of the computer and that is meant to be written to the device.
If you don't like the sync option with your filesystems, then you can remove it from the configuration file of usbmount and use your devices with better performance and longer life time. BUT you should always make sure that you use the sync command on a shell to ensure that there is no writes pending for the device in question, so that you don't loose any data when you unplug the device from the computer.
Of course, usbmount doesn't only work with flash drives. Common hard drives put into enclosures are perfectly used with usbmount and usbmount, despite its name, can mount drives connected via Firewire ports, provided that the kernel has support for it most distribution kernels, including the ones shipped with Debian and Ubuntu do. This package depends on a few other packages for installation. These are properly declared in the built package and apt-get will install all required packages if the package is installed from a remote repository but dpkg doesn't install dependencies when the package is installed from a local file.
Option 2: use a package installer that fetches dependencies even for local packages ex. The vfat filesystem is one of the most commonly used filesystems in pen drives.
