It acts +as a translator of devd(8) events, probing storage +devices for their file system information, and serving +this over a FIFO based API to which clients can +subscribe. In addition to notifying clients of new +or lost volumes, it will mount and unmount such +volumes at the command of subscribing clients. + +It runs as root and allows any local clients the +ability to mount and unmount volumes which are +detected, regardless of any user privileges. This +is intended for single user X11 systems needing +an easy way of accessing USB flash disks on the fly. + +WWW: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=27233 |
