Xfce 4-mount-plugin is a plugin for the Xfce 4 panel allowing you to mount devices and have them opened in a file manager afterwards.
This little plugin behaves like the "kwikdisk - removable media utility" shipped with KDE.
Press it and it will display a list of items representing your various devices. If you click on an unmounted devices it will mount it and vice versa. There is no warning in case a device can't be mounted or unmounted.
The plugin displays various information on each device :
"device name" > "mount point" ["used size"/"total size"] "available size" free and an obvious progress bar
The plugin works in a very simple way. It builds a list of devices from your /etc/fstab (using setfsent() and getfsent() ) and get device stat from the list of mounted devices (ie same data as the df command), using setmntent() and getmntent().
For mouting a device, the plugin simply runs a "mount /mount_point/ " command.
Requirements:
Xfce Panel 4.3.22 and newer only
What's New in This Release:
A new options dialog with tooltips was added.
The ability to customize the mount/umount commands was added for experts.
