halmount

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"
