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 information 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.
