These tools enables system administrators to easily
control most options which affect the behavior of removable devices
such as floppy, CD and DVD disks. Note that, by default, all
removable devices are automatically made available so users
shouldn't have to manually mount media.
For each device the following properties may be changed:
Mount point. The directory where the device's files will be accessible from. You can either choose an entry in the list or type in your own path. If the directory does not exist, it will be automatically created.
Options. Controls various device options, notably whether it is mounted automatically (supermount) or not. Note that if the supermount option is selected, the two others (user and noauto) must not be selected.
Type. Displays a list of file-system types. If you have a specific medium with an uncommon file system on it, this is where you can tell Linux how to access it.
Select the
property you wish to change and click on
. The corresponding dialog will pop up in
which you can change your settings. Then click on
again. The system will then ask you if you
want to save the modifications in the
/etc/fstab
file. By saying yes, you will not
have to unmount and re-mount that device: it will be done
automatically
