devd-mount(8)		     System Manager's Manual		   devd-mount(8)

SYNOPSIS
     devd-mount [/dev/]partition

ARGUMENTS
     device  Name of device node, with or without /dev/ prefix

DESCRIPTION
     devd-mount  is a script for mounting external media on FreeBSD.  It is nor-
     mally invoked by /usr/local/etc/devd/devd-mount.conf, which is run  by  the
     devd(8)  service upon creation of a new device node such as /dev/da0.  This
     typically occurs when a USB drive is inserted, for example.

     The device name should contain a filesystem recognized  by  FreeBSD  or  by
     fusefs,  such  as EXFAT, FAT32, FAS16, NTFS, ISO 9660 (CDs), UDF (DVDs), of
     UFS (FreeBSD native).

     The mount point for a device is  /media/device-name,  e.g.   /dev/da0p1  is
     mounted on /media/da0p1.

     The  configuration  file /usr/local/etc/devd-mount.conf can be used to con-
     trol ownership and permissions on the mount point, and the program  invoked
     upon a successful mount.  Defaults are shown below.

     MEDIA_MANAGER=/usr/local/bin/qmediamanager
     GROUP=operator
     MODE=775

     The  auto-automount-setup(1)  script, part of sysutils/auto-admin will con-
     figure a FreeBSD system to use devd-mount.

RETURN VALUES
     0 upon successful mount, non-zero error codes otherwise

EXAMPLES
     devd-mount da0p1

FILES
     /usr/local/etc/devd-mount.conf
     /usr/local/etc/devd/devd-mount.conf
