NAME
    usermount - A graphical tool to mount, unmount and format filesystems.

SYNOPSIS
    usermount [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
    usermount is a graphical tool to allow users to easily manage removable
    media, such as floppy disks or zip disks. When the tool starts up, it
    scans /etc/fstab for all filesystems that have been configured to allow
    users to mount  and unmount them. The filesystem can be mounted or
    unmounted by pressing the toggle button labeled Mount.

    Also, if the user has the appropriate permissions for the device, the
    Format button will be  active. This allows the user to format disks
    using fdformat and create a new filesystem of the type listed (using
    mkfs with the appropriate option). Naturally, the  user will be
    prompted for confirmation before actually destroying  data on the
    device.

    Note that if a device is already mounted, the format button is inactive
    for all entries that share the same device.

    When run as root, usermount displays all of the entries in /etc/fstab
    rather than just the ones with the user option.

OPTIONS
    This program has no command line options of it's own, but it does take
    the standard X program options like -display and such. See the X(1)
    man page for some of the common options.

FILES
    /etc/fstab  The  system file describing the mountable
    filesystems.

SEE ALSO
    mount(8), fdformat(8), mkfs(8), fstab(5) X(1)

BUGS
    Mount entries with a filesystem type of iso9660 are outright considered
    CD-ROMs and the format button is always disabled.

    Mount entries for swap files or partitions are also ignored. A nice
    feature might be to allow root to turn swap on and off for swap parti-
    tions.
