MountMan: handle your mounted filesystems

MountMan is a tool which helps you manage your mounted filesystems. Once invoked, it displays a list of every mounted filesystem. For each filesystem, MountMan displays its name (which is the actual device name - i.e. /dev/fd0 for a floppy), its type (vfat, ext3, ReiserFS ...) and its mount-point (the directory on which the filesystem is mounted).

MountMan also displays usage information using total size, free size and percentage free. If those numbers say "N/A", it usually means that the filesystem isn't mounted. Left clicking on a filesystem displays a pie chart on the left of the window, this graphically displays the usage information for the filesystem. Clicking on a non-mounted filesystem will display "not mounted" instead of the graph.

Note

We plan to expand MountMan in the next evolution of Krusader. It will be able to format floppies, edit /etc/fstab, create new filesystems and more... btw. we have started working on it, see "Quickmode for MountMan"

Quickmode for MountMan

"Quickmode for MountMan" is only available on KDE 3.2 - earlier versions will see no difference.

To activate Quickmode for MountMan, click AND HOLD the MountMan button on the Toolbar

General idea: display a list of all possible mountpoints. Each time the menu is displayed, it determines if a mountpoint is mounted or not and associated 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.
