.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBhalmount\fR can mount and umount filesystems via hal.
Hotpluggable devices and media such as USB sticks and CD-ROMs are
typically not entered into /etc/fstab and are therefore not
mountable by normal users via the \fBmount\fR(8) command. Instead
hal provides methods to mount and umount such devices.

Additionally it's also possible to eject devices. For devices like
USB sticks eject means the device cannot be mounted again until the
stick is re-plugged, ie a "save remove" feature.
