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> + <!-- OLD +<screenshot> + <screeninfo>MountMan</screeninfo> + <mediaobject> + <imageobject><imagedata fileref="mountman.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject> + <imageobject><imagedata fileref="mountman.png" format="EPS"/></imageobject> + <textobject><phrase>MountMan</phrase></textobject> + <caption><para>MountMan</para></caption> + </mediaobject> +</screenshot> +--> + <figure id="screenshot-mountman" float="1"> + <title>MountMan</title> + <mediaobject> + <imageobject> + <imagedata fileref="mountman.png"></imagedata> + </imageobject> + <textobject> + <phrase>MountMan</phrase> + </textobject> + </mediaobject> + </figure> + <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.

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> +</sect1> |
