Originally for automounting, -it can now be used to run arbitrary commands when events or conditions -occur or properties are modified on your hardware (e.g., run a command -when you close your laptop's lid, run a command when a particular -device is attached or a particular CD is inserted, etc). - -ivman allows you to have automount feature even if you don't use a volume -manager like KDE, GNOME, or XFCE includes. Just run ivman in the background, -and if you're not root, be sure to also install pmount, which allows you to -mount without being root and having the devices listed on /etc/fstab. - -NOTE FROM SUBMITTER: -I've discovered a bug (possibly known) in ivman with pumount usage; since -ivman doesn't have maintainer right now and I don't know where to report it, -I'll explain here how to easily solve it. Note that this happens when using -pumount as non-root; I haven't tried using ivman as root. -It seems that when you remove a USB device without pumounting it (which ivman -should take care of), ivman locks the device when calling pumount. This can -be easily fixed by correcting your ivman's config files. -Set in ~/.ivman/IvmConfigBase.xml: -<ivm:Option name="mountcommand" value="pmount-hal '$hal.info.udi$'" /> -<ivm:Option name="umountcommand" value="pumount -l '$hal.block.device$'" /> |
