Description : udevil is a command line Linux program which mounts and unmounts
removable devices without a password, shows device info, and monitors device
changes. It can also mount ISO files, nfs://, smb://, ftp://, and ssh:// URLs,
and tmpfs/ramfs filesystems.
udevil is highly configurable, requires no daemon running, and depends only on
udev and glib - NO udisks, gvfs, fuse, policykit, etc. (although it can coexist
with any of these). To use it, just prefix a normal mount command with
'udevil'. udevil can also replace udisks in the SpaceFM file manager and the
devmon automounting daemon (devmon is included with udevil).
Highlights:
- Lightweight - Written in C with libudev and glib - no dependency on udisks
or gvfs
- Users can specify custom mount points and mount options
- Optional user mounting of nfs://, smb://, ftp://, and ssh:// network URLs
with support for username, password, port, and any other configured options
- Optional user mounting of image files (ISO, etc)
- Uses mount's existing command line usage - just prefix your mount command
with 'udevil'. Also supports udisks v1 and v2 command line usage
- Flexible - Admins can easily adjust allowed users, groups, fstypes,
devices, and networks, and set default mount options and allowed mount options
for each fstype, with exceptions for special users
- Extensible - Allows admins to use additional custom authentication and
notification scripts
- Secure - Designed to limit user actions to only what you want enabled,
plus easily log all system-wide uses of udevil
- Detailed errors and verbose commands for quick troubleshooting
- Works as SpaceFM's mount/unmount command, replacing need for pmount or
udisks
Includes and works as a udisks v1 replacement for the devmon automounting
daemon
Limitations:
- udevil does not currently handle encrypted devices automatically
