       Mount entries with a filesystem type of iso9660 are outright considered CD-ROMs and the format button  is
       always disabled.

       Mount  entries  for  swap files or partitions are also ignored.  A nice feature might be to allow root to
       turn swap on and off for swap partitions.

usermount  is  a  graphical tool to allow users to easily manage removable media, such as floppy disks or
       zip disks.  When the tool starts up, it scans /etc/fstab for all filesystems that have been configured to
       allow users to mount and unmount them.  The filesystem can be mounted or unmounted by pressing the toggle
       button labeled Mount.

       Also, if the user has the appropriate permissions for the device, the Format button will be active.  This
       allows the user to format disks using fdformat and create a new filesystem of the type listed (using mkfs
       with the appropriate option).  Naturally, the user will be  prompted  for  confirmation  before  actually
       destroying data on the device.

       Note  that  if  a device is already mounted, the format button is inactive for all entries that share the
       same device.

       When run as root, usermount displays all of the entries in /etc/fstab rather than just the ones with  the
       user option.

       Invoking  userformatdevice allows formatting device, as if by selecting device in the userformat window,
       and by clicking the Format button.

/etc/fstab               The system file describing the mountable filesystems.

       This program has no command line options of its own, but it does take the standard X program options like
       -display and such.  See the X(1) man page for some of the common options.
