ivman is a generic handler for HAL events. 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
|
|
background, and if you're not root, be sure to also install pmount
|
|
that 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 care of), ivman locks the device when calling
|
|
pumount.
|
|
This can be easily fixed by correcting your ivman's config files.
|
|
Set in $HOME/.ivman/IvmConfigBase.xml:
|
|
<ivm:Option name="mountcommand" value="pmount-hal '$hal.info.udi$'" />
|
|
<ivm:Option name="umountcommand" value="pumount -l '$hal.block.device$'" />
