+ <title>MountMan: work with your mounted file systems</title>
+ <indexterm>
+ <primary>Mount</primary>
+ </indexterm>
+ <para>MountMan is a tool which helps you manage your mounted
+ file systems. Once invoked, it displays a list of every mounted
+ file system. For each file system, MountMan displays its name
+ (which is the actual device name - &ie;
+ <filename class="directory">/dev/fd0</filename> for a
+ <hardware>floppy</hardware>), its type (vfat, ext3, ReiserFS ...)
+ and its mount point on your system (the directory on which the
+ file system is mounted).</para>

+ <para>MountMan also displays usage information using total size,
+ free size, and percentage of available space free. If those
+ numbers say
+ <guilabel>N/A</guilabel>, that usually means that the file system
+ is not mounted. Left clicking on a file system displays a pie chart
+ on the left of the window, graphically displaying the usage
+ information for the file system. Clicking on a non-mounted
+ file system will display
+ <guilabel>not mounted</guilabel> instead of the graph.</para>

+ <keycap>Right-clicking</keycap> on a file system will open a

+ <hardware>cdrom</hardware>).</para>

+ <para>We plan to expand MountMan in the next evolution of
+ &krusader;. It will be able to format floppies, edit
+ <filename class="directory">/etc/fstab</filename>, create new
+ file systems and more.... By the way, we have started working on
+ it, see "Quickmode for MountMan"</para>

+ <para>To activate Quickmode for MountMan, click and hold the
+ MountMan button on the &main-toolbar-lnk;</para>
+ <para>General idea: display a list of all possible mount points.
+ Each time the menu is displayed, it determines if a mount point is
+ mounted or not and associates the correct action (mount or
+ umount). This offers a quick interface to MountMan. It is
+ working, and currently uses KMountMan::mount and unmount. It uses
+ the new &kde; services for fstab-reading and this will
+ enable us to remove a lot of code from the "old" MountMan.</para>
