<title>Introduction to gnome-volume-manager</title>
<para>The <application>gnome-volume-manager</application> package contains
a volume manager for GNOME. It is a desktop-level daemon that enforces
volume-related policy in response to events received from
<application>HAL</application>. This is useful for automatic mounting of
floppy diskettes, CDROMs and removable storage devices. It can also be
used to automatically run a program in response to other hotplug events
such as plugging in USB printers or cameras, or inserting DVDs and
music CDs. The goal of <application>gnome-volume-manager</application> is
to implement all functionality as a state-machine in response to
asynchronous events from <application>HAL</application>. It is one
component in a larger plan to fully integrate all levels of the Linux
system, from the kernel on up through the desktop and its
applications.</para>

<para><parameter>--disable-multiuser</parameter>: Without this parameter,

<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>Proper operation of this package is dependent upon the
<command>hald</command> daemon running on the system. Ensure the
<command>hald</command> daemon is running before attempting to start or
configure <command>gnome-volume-manager</command>. Configuration
is accomplished using the <quote>Removable Drives and Media</quote>
graphical interface found on the
<quote>Desktop</quote>&mdash;<quote>Preferences</quote> drop-down
menu. You can also run the <command>gnome-volume-properties</command>
command from the command line to bring up the configuration
interface.</para>
<para>Note that the <command>gnome-volume-manager</command> daemon
program should be started when your GNOME desktop environment is started.
This should be automatically configured during the installation of
<application>gnome-volume-manager</application>.</para>
<!--
This can easily be accomplished by adding
<command>gnome-volume-manager</command> to the
<quote>Startup Programs</quote>, found by selecting the
<quote>Desktop</quote>&mdash;<quote>Preferences</quote>&mdash;<quote>Sessions</quote>
drop-down menu.</para>
-->
<para>The <quote>Disk Mounter</quote> applet can be installed in the
control panel for visual display status of removable media. Installing
this applet in the panel is accomplished using conventional
methods.</para>
