halmount(1) User Commands halmount(1)NAME
halmount - mount and umount filesystems via hal
SYNOPSIS
halmount [OPTIONS]... <device|label> [mountpoint]
halmount -u [OPTIONS]... <device|label|mountpoint>
halmount -e [OPTIONS]... <device|label|mountpoint>
DESCRIPTION
halmount can mount and umount filesystems via hal. Hotpluggable devices and media such as USB sticks and CD-ROMs are typically not entered
into /etc/fstab and are therefore not mountable by normal users via the mount(8) command. Instead hal provides methods to mount and umount
such devices.
Additionally it's also possible to eject devices. For devices like USB sticks eject means the device cannot be mounted again until the
stick is re-plugged, ie a "save remove" feature.
OPTIONS -t TYPE
specify the file system type to use
-o OPTIONS
specify mount options
-v verbose listing of devices
-u umount specified device
-e umount and eject specified device
-a perform requested mount/umount/eject operation all available devices
--listudi
list UDIs of devices, useful for debugging
EXAMPLES
halmount
list all mountable devices known to hal
halmount /dev/hdc
mount device hdc on default mount point (/media/volumelabel)
halmount /dev/hdc cdrom
mount device hdc on /media/cdrom
halmount -u "Holiday Pictures"
umount device that has the label "Holiday Pictures"

MOUNT(2) System Calls Manual MOUNT(2)NAME
mount, umount - mount or umount a file system
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>
int mount(char *special, char *name, int flag)
int umount(char *name)
DESCRIPTION
Mount() tells the system that the file system special is to be mounted on the file name, effectively overlaying name with the file tree on
special. Name may of any type, except that if the root of special is a directory, then name must also be a directory. Special must be a
block special file, except for loopback mounts. For loopback mounts a normal file or directory is used for special, which must be seen as
the root of a virtual device. Flag is 0 for a read-write mount, 1 for read-only.
Umount() removes the connection between a device and a mount point, name may refer to either of them. If more than one device is mounted
on the same mount point then unmounting at the mount point removes the last mounted device, unmounting a device removes precisely that
device. The unmount will only succeed if none of the files on the device are in use.
Both calls may only be executed by the super-user.

When mounting a USB stick or pen drive on a FreeBSD machine I always issue the following command:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt
Something I have always wondered is what the option msdosfs stands for and more importantly, why it is necessary. (7 Replies)
