I don't know bcz I've never used it. However I know it is possible to mount usb with sync option so that the write cache is always flushed and the daemon umount the usb /after/ it received the signal that the usb has been unplugged. -- regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 唐詩149 司空曙 賊平後送人北歸 世亂同南去 時清獨北還 他鄉生白髮 舊國見青山 曉月過殘壘 繁星宿故關 寒禽與衰草 處處伴愁顏

i used something similar but with simple mount.

on my system i need to add something like
hirobonsai=NOPASSWD:/sbin/mount
to my /etc/sudoers and then i can bind
$ sudo /sbin/mount -o uid=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
to keystrokes (my user has user id 1000).

I only use one dvd drive and use one usb at a time. I use pmount but I
think that you still have to add yourself to a particular group before
you can use pmount.
extract of my config.h
static const char *mountcdrom[] = { "pmount", "/dev/cdrom", NULL };
static const char *umountcdrom[] = { "pumount", "/dev/cdrom", NULL };
static const char *mountusb[] = { "pmount", "/dev/sda1", NULL };
static const char *umountusb[] = { "pumount", "/dev/sda1", NULL };
.
static Key keys[] = {
..
{ MODKEY, XK_F1, spawn, {.v =
mountcdrom } },
{ MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_F1, spawn, {.v =
umountcdrom } },
{ MODKEY, XK_F2, spawn, {.v =
mountusb } },
{ MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_F2, spawn, {.v =
umountusb } },
Mount points will be created and removed automatically under /media
of my debian.

Re: [dwm] skvm - suckless lightweight volume manager
yes, i dont know how to mount as user instead of root with skvm too, i think a sudo umount /dev/sdX[n] with be ok, but i really like the devices to be mounted as my user I think i'll be using thunar for the time being...

No. I have experience corrupted fs due to removing the usb too soon. Now, I use thunar for mounting/unmounting usbs and transfer files (I don't like automount). Good luck Preben
Re: [dwm] skvm - suckless lightweight volume manager
I use a simple script, the only requirement is that the usb drive must
has a label.
to mount new usb drives: usbmount
to umount a usb drive: pumount /media/label
to umount all the usb drives: usbmount -u
# usbmount
#!/bin/sh
label="/dev/disk/by-label/"
options="--noatime"
usb_disk=`ls $label`
mounted=`df | grep "media" | awk '{ print $6 }' `
for name in $usb_disk
do
if [ "$1" != "-u" ]
then
echo $mounted | grep "/media/$name" > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
pmount "$options" "$label""$name" "/media/$name"
echo "$name mounted"
fi
else
echo $mounted | grep "/media/$name" > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
pumount "/media/$name"
echo "$name umounted"
fi
fi
done
