NAME
macmntd - Macintosh removable media mount daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/macmntd
DESCRIPTION
macmntd automatically mounts floppies (and other removable
media)
when they are inserted into the floppy drive. macmntd waits
for
disk inserted events by opening the disk inserted device,
/dev/diskinsert. This open request blocks until the next
disk is
inserted into the floppy drive, at which time the open
completes
and macmntd issues an ioctl to glean the disk’s
Macintosh volume
name from the disk inserted device. This name is passed as a
parameter to mount which uses /etc/fstab to determine where
to
mount the volume. (In MachTen, /etc/fstab may contain
entries of
the form ’Macintosh volume
name’,’directory’.) If there is no entry
in the /etc/fstab for this volume, macmntd makes a directory
in
/floppy with the same name as the volume name and mounts the
volume
there.

NOTES
Only one process can be waiting for the disk inserted event.
Subsequent open requests fail with EBUSY.
