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"

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

-l List handled devices. Formatted with, on each line, udi:device:mountpoint.
-p 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
