usb-mount integrates hotplug scripts and the KDE desktop to provide desktop compatibility for systems.
The USB-Mount project offers a seamless desktop integration for systems using the hotplug scripts and KDE desktop. With this software, users can easily mount and unmount their USB storage partitions, and the software adds icons representing each partition to the user's desktop for effortless accessibility. Users can interact with the storage device simply by opening the desktop icons, revealing the folders corresponding to each partition.
This software also offers options to modify icon controls, allowing users to alter each partition's mount status in a few clicks. There have been multiple positive responses from users who have used this software on Redhat 9 and Fedora Core 2. Though the software requires some configuration and shell script knowledge to run, many users have been able to make it function on various Linux distributions with few modifications.
If the scripts fail to work initially, users can check for errors in their system logs and makes adjustments from there. While the scripts were primarily tested on Fedora Core 4, it is still compatible with newer kernels like 2.6. The software, however, has not undergone major improvements or updates since many distributions already feature USB handling, rendering the software less necessary.
Furthermore, the latest release offers fixes tailored to newer kernels and distributions that take longer to set up USB devices. The USB-mount software also includes an option that ignores non-USB storage devices, and it now supports flash card readers with more than one device as well. Those who wish to create a simpler script alternative can use the new kernel, Dbus, or other tools available to create one to their preference.
