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

       halmount /dev/hdc
	      mount device hdc on default mount point (/media/volumelabel)

       halmount /dev/hdc cdrom
