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
       normally	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  ex-
       ample.

       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
       control	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
       configure 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
