<sect1 id="mount-man"> <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> <!-- 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. 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> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para> <keycap>Double-clicking</keycap> on a file system will close MountMan and open that file system inside &krusader;'s active panel.</para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> <keycap>Right-clicking</keycap> on a file system will open a small menu which displays what actions can be performed on that file system. At the moment, you can only mount, unmount and eject (if clicking on a removable file system, e.g., a <hardware>cdrom</hardware>).</para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> <note> <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> </note> <para> <emphasis role="bold">Quickmode for MountMan</emphasis> </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> </sect1>
