xvmountconfig - interactive xvmount configuration script

xvmountconfig [ -h,--help ] [ --force ] [ --automatic ] [ --dir directory ]

xvmountconfig creates the system configuration file for the graphical mount utility xvmount(1). It parses /etc/fstab for user mountable devices and asks the user for all drives that should appear in the widget of xvmount. From the selections it creates an xvmount configuration file xvmounttab either in /etc or in a selected directory.

A more flexible configuration of xvmount is possible by manually editing /etc/xvmounttab according to the xvmount(1) man page.

-h,--help Print help about usage and exit.

--force

Force creation of new xvmount configuration file even if it exists already.

--automatic

Automatically creates an xvmount configuration file from /etc/fstab by using all user mountable devices and guessing appropriate names for them.

--dir directory

Creates xvmounttab in the given directory instead of /etc.

/etc/xvmounttab

The system-wide xvmount configuration file.

This script was written exclusively for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. It is not a part of the upstream xvmount sources.

The script produces always an alphabetically ordered list of devices. Another display order in the widget is only possible by manually editing the xvmounttab file.
