<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>

<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>

<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>

<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>

<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>
