HALEVT-MOUNT(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   HALEVT-MOUNT(1)

NAME
halevt-mount/halevt-umount - Mount or umount device through HAL SYNOPSIS
halevt-mount [options] [-w] mountpoint|device|udi halevt-mount [options] <-c | -r> <-a | mountpoint | device | udi> halevt-mount [options] <-l | -s> halevt-umount [options] < -a | mountpoint | device | udi> DESCRIPTION
halevt-mount Mount or umount device through HAL and keep a track of devices handled. When called as halevt-umount the default is to unmount, when called as halevt-mount the default is to mount. Option -c, -l, -r, -s or -w changes the operation performed. Additional argument is considered to be a mount point, a device or an udi when unmounting or removing. If the commands are not called with -s after changes in the state of the devices (after mounting, unmounting, removing devices), the infor- mation available for halevt-mount and halevt-umount may become out of sync with the state of the system. When run as user halevt (or as root), no uid= argument is passed to HAL when mounting, otherwise this option is passed, if the filesystem allows it. OPTIONS
-a When listing, list all the existing devices. For the other operations, perform the operation on all the handled devices. -c Remove the handled device. -d device Use device device. -f file Use file file to store information about the handled devices instead of the default. -h Help message and options summary. -i directory Use lock file and device information file in the directory directory (if they are not already specified). -l List handled devices. Formatted with, on each line, udi:device:mountpoint. -p mountpoint Use mountpoint mountpoint. -m umask Set mount umask to umask if run as a system user, and the filesystem supports it. -n file Use file file as lock file. -o option Add the option option to the mount call. -r Umount. -s Sync the information about the handled devices with the informations known by HAL. -u udi Use udi udi. -w Add to the handled devices.

Name
       mount.crypt - mount a dm-crypt encrypted volume

Syntax
       mount.crypt [-nrv] [-o options] device directory

Options
       -o options
	      Set further mount options. mount.crypt will take out its own options it recognizes and passes any remaining options on to the under-
	      lying mount program. See below for possible options.

       -n     Do not update /etc/mtab. Note that this makes it impossible to unmount the volume by naming the container - you will  have  to  pass
	      the mountpoint to umount.crypt.

       -r     Set  up  the loop device (if necessary) and crypto device in read-only mode.  (The mount itself will necessarily also be read-only.)
	      Note that doing a remount using `mount /mnt -o remount,rw` will not make the mount readwrite. The crypto and loop devices will  have
	      to be disassociated first.

       -v     Turn on debugging and be a bit more verbose.

Mount options
       cipher The  cryptsetup  cipher used for the encrypted volume. This option is mandatory for PLAIN (non-LUKS) volumes. pmt-ehd(8) defaults to
	      creating volumes with "aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" as a cipher.

       crypto_name
	      Select the name for the crypto device (optional). This option is currently only usable with dm-crypt systems.

       fsck   Run fsck on the container before mounting it.

       fsk_cipher
	      The OpenSSL cipher used for the filesystem key. The special keyword "none" can be used to bypass decryption and pass the	file  con-
	      tents directly to libcryptsetup.

       fsk_hash
	      The OpenSSL hash used for producing key and IV.

       fstype The exact type of filesystem in the encrypted container. The default is to let the kernel autodetect.

       hash   The  cryptsetup  hash  used for the encrypted volume. This defaults to no hashing, because pam_mount assumes EHD volumes with strong
	      and simple fskey generation.

       keyfile
	      The path to the key file. This option is mandatory for "normal" crypto volumes and should not be used for LUKS volumes.

       remount
	      Causes the filesystem to be remounted with new options. Note that mount.crypt cannot switch the underlying loop device (if  applies)
	      or the crypto device between read-only and read-write once it is created; only the actual filesystem mount can be changed, with lim-
	      its. If the loop device is read-only, the crypto device will be read-only, and changing the mount to read-write is impossible.  Sim-
	      ilarly,  going from rw to ro will only mark the mount read-only, but not the crypto or loop device, thus making it impossible to set
	      the filesystem the crypto container is located on to read-only.

       ro     Same as the -r option.

       verbose
	      Same as the -v option.

Obsolete mount options
       This section is provided for reference.

       loop   This option used to set up a loop device, because cryptsetup(8) expects a block device. The option is  ignored  because  mount.crypt
	      can figure this out on its own.
