    <title>Introduction to gnome-mount</title>

    <para>The <application>gnome-mount</application> package contains programs
    for mounting, unmounting and ejecting storage devices. The goal for
    <application>gnome-mount</application> is to get the appropriate GNOME
    software (such as <application>gnome-volume-manager</application> and
    <application>GNOME-VFS</application>) to use this instead of invoking
    <command>mount</command>/<command>umount</command>/<command>eject</command>
    or direct <application>HAL</application> invoking methods.</para>

    <para>All the <application>gnome-mount</application> programs utilize the
    methods on <application>HAL</application> and as such run unprivileged. The
    rationale for <application>gnome-mount</application> is to have a
    centralized place (in <application>GConf</application>) where settings
    (e.g., mount options and mount locations) are maintained.</para>
