It is a desktop-level daemon that enforces volume-related policy in response to events received from HAL. This is useful for automatic mounting of floppy diskettes, CDROMs and removable storage devices. It can also be used to automatically run a program in response to other hotplug events such as plugging in USB printers or cameras, or inserting DVDs and music CDs. The goal of gnome-volume-manager is to implement all functionality as a state-machine in response to asynchronous events from HAL. It is one component in a larger plan to fully integrate all levels of the Linux system, from the kernel on up through the desktop and its applications.

Now, as the root user: make install --sysconfdir=&gnome-etc-dir;: This switch puts configuration files in &gnome-etc-dir; instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc. Proper operation of this package is dependant upon the hald daemon running on the system. Ensure the hald daemon is running before attempting to start or configure gnome-volume-manager. Configuration is accomplished using the Removable Drives and Media graphical interface found on the Desktop—Preferences drop-down menu. You can also run the gnome-volume-properties command from the command line to bring up the configuration interface. Note that the gnome-volume-manager daemon program should be started when your GNOME desktop environment is started. This can easily be accomplished by adding gnome-volume-manager to the Startup Programs, found by selecting the Desktop—Preferences—Sessions drop-down menu. The Disk Mounter applet can be installed in the control panel for visual display status of removable media. Installing this applet in the panel is accomplished using conventional methods.

It is a simple policy engine that implements a state machine in response to events from HAL. Responding to these events, it implements automount, autorun, autoplay, automatic photo management, and so on. gnome-volume-manager gnome-volume-properties is a control panel applet for gnome-volume-manager. It is also provides a graphical configuration interface. gnome-volume-properties
