| usbmount | automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices | Mehr ... |
This package automatically mounts USB mass storage devices (typically
USB pens) when they are plugged in, and unmounts them when they are
removed. The mountpoints (/media/usb[0-7] by default), filesystem types
to consider, and mount options are configurable. When multiple devices
are plugged in, the first available mountpoint is automatically
selected. If the device provides a model name, a symbolic link
/var/run/usbmount/MODELNAME pointing to the mountpoint is automatically
created.
.
The script that does the mounting is called by the udev daemon.
Therefore, USBmount requires a 2.6 (or newer) Linux kernel.
.
Firewire devices are also supported by USBmount.
.
USBmount is intended as a lightweight solution which is independent of
a desktop environment. Users which would like an icon to appear when an
USB device is plugged in should use the pmount and hal packages
instead. |
