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.
