| Linux / Unix Command: usermount |
NAME
usermount - A graphical tool to mount, unmount and format filesystems.SYNOPSIS
usermount [ options ]DESCRIPTION
usermount is a graphical tool to allow users to easily manage removable media, such as floppy disks or zip disks. When the tool starts up, it scans /etc/fstab for all filesystems that have been configured to allow users to mount and unmount them. The filesystem can be mounted or unmounted by pressing the toggle button labeled Mount.Also, if the user has the appropriate permissions for the device, the Format button will be active. This allows the user to format disks using fdformat and create a new filesystem of the type listed (using mkfs with the appropriate option). Naturally, the user will be prompted for confirmation before actually destroying data on the device.
Note that if a device is already mounted, the format button is inactive for all entries that share the same device.
When run as root, usermount displays all of the entries in /etc/fstab rather than just the ones with the user option.
