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.
