linux下自动mount各种即插即用设备的一个小程序源码 文件包含内容： /vold.h /vold.c /split.h /split.c /disktype-6/disktype.c

The Volume Daemon is a small program, that can automatically
mount your CD-Roms, USB-Memory Sticks, iPods and other removable
Media. The main goal is to provide an application that can take
care of your storage devices so you don't need to edit fstab 
anymore. If you bought a new harddisk, the only thing to make 
it work is to plug it in. If there are partitions on it they will 
be mounted immediately. This program is in fact very similar to 
the volume daemon 'vold' found on Solaris or the 'autodiskmount' 
on Mac OS X.
 
But there already is an automounter in Linux! Why do we need this 'vold'?
 Something I did never like about the automounter is that its auto mounting is 
somehow special. Devices are not mounted automatically when they are available 
but when they are accessed. Another point that really annoyed me was that when I 
plugged in my Memory Stick in Windows or in Mac OS X, I needn't do anything else 
- it just worked. I plugged it in on Linux and ... nothing happened (as 
usual..). I could live with the mount process but its not only that. The device 
names may change if you have more that one hotpluggable device depending on 
which device you plug in first.   But hey.. there already is a volume daemon for 
linux!  Yes I know. But that version does only support CD-Roms. And I just can't 
find it's homepage anymore.


That's why we now have a volume daemon. :-)
