Free mount software for linux

Mountapp is a dockapp for mounting and unmounting filesystems. Mount.app is especially useful for removable volumes like CD-ROMs, ZIP(tm) disks, and floppies.
One click to mount, unmount, eject. GUI configuration, automatically configures "user" and "owner" mounts from /etc/fstab.
Enhancements:
- The source has been moved from CVS to Mercurial.
- Some user-supplied patches have been applied.

cryptmount project is a utility for GNU/Linux operating systems which allows an ordinary user to mount an encrypted filesystem.
cryptmount was written to address differences between the capabilities of the loopback device and the newer, preferred, device-mapper mechanisms of the 2.6 kernel series, which make it more difficult for a non-root user to configure the devices necessary for access to an encrypted filesystem.
After the initial configuration of the encrypted filesystem, an ordinary user can mount and unmount the filesystem on demand, solely by providing the decryption password.
Enhancements:
- A new interactive tool to assist with initial setup of encrypted filesystems, support for reading/writing OpenSSL key files via libgcrypt, facilities for translating between key files stored in different formats, and support for improved dismantling of loopback filesystems during system shutdown.

Magic Mounter is a user-space auto-mounter.

mmounter tries to mimic the behaviour of MacOS with regards to automatic monitoring and mounting of the volumes in your system (CDs, ZIP disks, floppies, HDs) using their volume name as the mount point.

It will optionally eject devices and let users mount/umount them.

Currently mmounter supports ext2, ext3, iso9660 (CD), HFS, and VFAT.

This tool is user-space only (doesnt require any kernel patching) and should be fairly portable.

Mount ISO Image is an advanced script which allows to perform multiple operations with ISO, NRG (Nero Burning ROM), UDF (DVD), CUE/BIN, CCD/IMG/SUB (CloneCD), XDVDFS (XBOX) images.
Mount/unmount operations can be performed in two different ways: using kdesu or sudo. During the installation youll be offered to choose a variant to use.
Note: If you prefer to use sudo, you should first choose to "Setup sudo config" in installation menu.
Usage:
ISO9660 (CD) and UDF (DVD) images
Mount:
Right-click an ".ISO" file and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Mount Image". Image file will be mounted to folder on Desktop, the corresponding folder will be opened and raised.
Unmount:
Right-click an ".ISO" file and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Unmount Image". The corresponding folder will be removed from the desktop automagically.
Calculate MD5 sum:
Right-click an ".ISO" file, choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Calculate MD5 sum" and wait for completion - it may take several minutes for a standard 650 Mb image on a slow machine.
Create ISO/UDF image from directory:
Right-click a folder that you wish an ISO or UDF image to be created from and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create ISO (or UDF) image". Image will be created either in parent directory of this folder (if user is allowed to write there) or on the Desktop.
Warning: Check if you have enough free space on target partition before creating an ISO!
Create ISO/UDF image from CD/DVD drive:
Right-click any suitable directory (resulting file will be stored there), select "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create ISO-image from CD-ROM" and select the name of ISO image in the filename selection dialog. If it suggests you put the resulting image on the Desktop instead of the selected directory, it means that current user has no permission to write in this directory.
Note: This feature requires a working CD/DVD drive
Warning: Check if you have enough free space on target partition before creating an ISO!
NRG (Nero Burning ROM) images
Mount:
Right-click an ".NRG" file and choose "Actions -> Manage NRG -> Mount Image". Image file will be mounted to folder on Desktop, the corresponding folder will be opened and raised.
Unmount:
Right-click an ".NRG" file and choose "Actions -> Manage NRG -> Unmount Image". The corresponding folder will be removed from the desktop automagically. You can also right-click this very folder on your to unmount.
Calculate MD5 sum:
Right-click an ".NRG" file, choose "Actions -> Manage NRG -> Calculate MD5 sum" and wait for completion - it may take several minutes for a standard 650 Mb image on a slow machine.
Convert NRG image to ISO
Right-click an ".NRG" file and choose "Actions -> Manage NRG -> Convert to ISO" to convert the image to a standard ISO.
Warning: Check if you have enough free space before converting!
CUE/BIN images
Mount:
Right-click a ".CUE" file and choose "Actions -> Manage CUE/BIN -> Mount Image". Image file will be mounted to folder on Desktop, the corresponding folder will be opened and raised.
Note: This feature requires the use of cdemu utility, available here: http://cdemu.sourceforge.net
If it is not installed on your system, you will need to compile it from source or find a suitable package.
Unmount:
Right-click a ".CUE" file and choose "Actions -> Manage CUE/BIN -> Unmount Image". The corresponding folder will be removed from the desktop automagically. You can also right-click this very folder on your to unmount.
Convert CUE/BIN image to ISO:
Right-click a ".CUE" file and choose "Actions -> Manage CUE/BIN -> Convert to ISO" to convert the image to a standard ISO.
Note: This feature requires bchunk utility, available here: http://he.fi/bchunk
If it is not installed on your system, you will need to compile it from source or find a suitable package.
Warning: Check if you have enough free space before converting!
CCD/IMG/SUB (CloneCD) images
Convert CloneCD image to ISO:
Right-click a ".CCD" file and choose "Actions -> Manage CloneCD -> Convert to ISO" to convert the image to a standard ISO.
Note: This feature requires ccd2iso utility, available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ccd2iso
If it is not installed on your system, you will need to compile it from source or find a suitable package.
Warning: Check if you have enough free space before converting!
XDVDFS (XBOX) images
Create XDVDFS image from directory:
Right-click a folder that you wish an XDVDFS image to be created from and choose "Actions -> Manage ISO -> Create XDVDFS image". Image will be created either in parent directory of this folder (if user is allowed to write there) or on the Desktop.
Note: This feature requires extract-xiso utility, available here
Warning: Check if you have enough free space on target partition before creating an ISO!
Installation:
tar -jxf mount-iso-image-0.9.tar.bz2

Xfce 4-mount-plugin provides a plugin for the Xfce 4 panel allowing you to mount devices and have them opened in a file manager afterwards.

This little plugin behaves like the "kwikdisk - removable media utility" shipped with KDE.

Press it and it will display a list of items representing your various devices. If you click on an unmounted devices it will mount it and vice versa. There is no warning in case a device cant be mounted or unmounted.

The plugin displays various information on each device :
"device name" > "mount point" ["used size"/"total size"] "available size" free and an obvious progress bar

The plugin works in a very simple way. It builds a list of devices from your /etc/fstab (using setfsent() and getfsent() ) and get device stat from the list of mounted devices (ie same data as the df command), using setmntent() and getmntent().

For mouting a device, the plugin simply runs a "mount /mount_point/ " command.

pam_mount is a Pluggable Authentication Module that can mount volumes for a user session.
This module is aimed at environments with SMB (Samba or Windows NT) or NCP (Netware or Mars-NWE) servers that Unix users wish to access transparently. It facilitates access to private volumes of these types well.
The module also supports mounting home directories using loopback encrypted filesystems. The module was originally written for use on the GNU/Linux operating system but has since been modified to work on several flavors of BSD.
- Every user can access his own volumes
- The user needs to type the password just once (at login)
- The mounting process is transparent to the users
- There is no need to keep the login passwords in any additional file
- The volumes are unmounted upon logout, so it saves system resources, avoiding the need of listing every every possibly useful remote volume in /etc/fstab or in an automount/supermount config file. This is also necessary for securing encrypted filesystems.
pam_mount "understands" SMB, NCP, and any type of filesystem that can be mounted using the standard mount command. If someone has a particular need for a different filesystem, feel free to ask me to include it and send me patches.
If you intend to use pam_mount to protect volumes on your computer using an encrypted filesystem system, please know that there are many other issues you need to consider in order to protect your data.
For example, you probably want to disable or encrypt your swap partition (the cryptoswap can help you do this). Dont assume a system is secure without carefully considering potential threats.
Enhancements:
- pam_mount now uses an XML config file, which also has a few new variables and options.
- Support for truecrypt was added.

Original Disk Mount Applet is the original disk mount panel applet.

This is the same as the disk mounter included through GNOME 2.8. For GNOME 2.10 the official applet was rewritten, the new version adds the ability to autodetect mountable devices, but drops a significant (all) configurability.

It no longer allows you to choose which devices are displayed on the panel, their order, or icon representation.

Install this applet if you want to restore the old disk mounter behavior for GNOME 2.10.

Monto is a simple WindowMaker dockapp for manually mounting devices like floppy, HDD, USB, zip, CD, etc. (a maximum of four devices).

Mounting/unmounting operations are performed by one click on the dockapp region associated with the mount point alias.

Configuration options can be changed by manual editing ~/.clay/monto file (Its necessary when monto is run for the first time - autoconfig based on /etc/fstab
is currently unavailable) using text editor.

Meaning of led colors as follows:

* blue - when device is mounting
* green - when device is mounted

Suggestions, comments and patches are welcome.
