Submount is a system for automatically mounting and unmounting removable media drives like cdroms and floppy disk drives. It works with the Linux 2.6 kernel series.

A backport to the 2.4 kernel series is available now as well. Once installed, it allows removable media drives to be accessed as if they were permanently mounted.

Installing

Submount is composed of two part: a kernel module called "subfs" and a user program titled "submountd". Both must be properly installed for submount to work. The software is contained in the two directories underneath the submount directory. To build and install the software, read the files titled "INSTALL" in both directories. A few binary packages are now available.

For many distributions, there are packages for 2 different kernels available. This usually means one is for the original distribution kernel, and the second for a kernel released with recent security updates included. Check the package name and the version of the kernel installed on your system carefully to make sure that they match.

For Redhat, Fedora, and Mandrake, Choose the RPM that matches your kernel package. For Debian, download the subfs-modules package that matches your kernel-image deb, download the submountd package, and install both. The .tgz packages for Slackware 9.1 were built for the basic ide kernels, but also work for the scsi.s kernels, and hopefully for others. If you want a package for a different stock kernel from these distributions (such as smp) email me directly.

SuSE 9 contains version 0.2 of submount, with the kernel modules included in the kernel packages, and the userspace portion in a separate "submount" package. The package is included with the professional version, but not with the personal edition, so if you have the latter, get the package from SuSEs ftp site. Theres no integration with yast, however, so youll still have to edit your /etc/fstab file by hand.

SuSE 9.1 will use submount to handle removable media by default.

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.

Enhancements:
- The source has been moved from CVS to Mercurial.
- Some user-supplied patches have been applied.

Easy Media Desktop is meant as a user-friendly interface to working with different types of media.
