l(ightweight) d(evice) m(ounter)

2011-2013 (C) The Lemon Man

A lightweight daemon that mounts usb drives, cds, dvds or floppys automagically. Made for people that have no desktop-manager with all the bells and whistles but still want to enjoy automount. It does mount every device in /media and names them by either (in order) volume label, volume uuid or device serial or using the fstab rule for that device, if defined. Everything in ~30Kb of C code with libudev & libmount as only dependencies.

Callbacks

To execute a script after a device is mounted/unmounted just edit ldm.c and point CALLBACK_PATH to your script/program (must be +x), it will be executed with the action performed (mount/unmount) and the mountpoint as arguments respectively.

Blacklisting

If you don't want ldm to automount a certain device just write a fstab entry for it, specifying the noauto option.

Install

ldm expects a config file at /etc/ldm.conf which contains your user uid and gid. Don't be scared, it's just a matter of writing down 2 lines using your favourite editor.

USER_GID=<output of `id -g` ran from your user>
USER_UID=<output of `id -u` ran from your user>

That's all, I said it was easy!

RTFM, always.
