This tool allows the system administrator to
easily control most options which affect the behavior of removable devices
such as floppy, CD and DVD disks. Note that all removable
devices are automatically made available by default, so users shouldn't have
to manually mount medias.
For each device three properties may be changed:
Mount point. The directory where the device's files will be accessible from. You can either choose an entry in the list or type in your own path. If the directory does not exist, it will be automatically created.
Options. Controls various device options, notably whether it is mounted automatically (supermount) or not. Note that if the supermount option is selected, the two others (user and noauto) must be deselected.
Type. Displays a list of file-system types. If you have a specific media with an uncommon file system on it, this is where you can tell Linux how to access it.
Select the property you wish to change and click on . The corresponding dialog will pop up in which you can change your setting. Then click on again. The system will then ask you if you want to save the modifications in the /etc/fstab file. By saying yes, you will not have to unmount and re-mount that device.
