My experience with ivman/hal/dbus is good. I primarily use it with two external
usb harddisks.
Although some time ago I noticed there is no such thing as a 'auto-umount' when
shutting down, causing problems in the ext3 filesystem of the usb harddisks.
Nothing fsck could not fix but this is why in /etc/rc.shutdown I start
'umountall.sh' which consists of the following lines:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
function umnt
{
MNT_POINT=$1
MNT_INFO=$(mount | awk -v mnt=$MNT_POINT '{ if ($3 == mnt) print $0 }')
if [ "$MNT_INFO" == "" ]; then
echo $1 "Not Mounted"
else
pumount $MNT_POINT
fi
}
umnt /mnt/temp1
umnt /mnt/temp2
umnt /media/ARCHIEF_EXT3
umnt /media/ARCHIEF_BT
umnt /media/BACKUP_EXT3
umnt /media/BACKUP_BT
exit 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this information helps,
best regards,
Cor
