SYNOPSIS

10       pmount-hal device [ pmount options ]

DESCRIPTION

14       pmount  ("policy mount") is a wrapper around the standard mount program
15       which permits normal users to mount removable devices without a  match‐
16       ing /etc/fstab entry.
17
18       pmount-hal extends pmount by making it work together with hal (Hardware
19       Abstration Layer).  pmount-hal will ask hal about  values  for  certain
20       mount  flags (like noatime and async) and the prefered mount point name
21       and pass it to pmount, thus respecting the  configured  device  storage
22       policy.
23
24       The  first parameter (device) must be the HAL UDI or the device node of
25       the device to be mounted. All further parameters are passed  to  pmount
26       unchanged.
