12 acpid listens to ACPI events coming either in textual form from
13 /proc/acpi/event (though it is marked deprecated it is still widely
14 used and _is_ a standard) or in binary form from specified evdevs
15 (just use /dev/input/event*).
16
17 It parses the event to retrieve ACTION and a possible PARAMETER.
18 It then spawns /etc/acpi/<ACTION>[/<PARAMETER>] either via run-parts
19 (if the resulting path is a directory) or directly as an executable.
20
21 N.B. acpid relies on run-parts so have the latter installed.

Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]828 When you want to remove a mounted filesystem from its current mount
829 point, for example when you are shutting down the system, the
830 'umount' utility is the tool to use. If you enabled the 'mount'
831 utility, you almost certainly also want to enable 'umount'.

Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]848 Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]849 filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices.
850 The mount command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead
851 of a block device, and transparently associate the file with a
852 loopback device. The umount command will also free that loopback
853 device.

Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]866 Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]867 partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]868 the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]869 the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]870 a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
Eric Andersena0ac4522003-02-27 03:14:04 +0000[diff] [blame]871
Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]872 The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
873 your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
874 If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
875 example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
876 features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
877 that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused
Rob Landley17507fa2006-05-08 02:22:24 +0000[diff] [blame]878 by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]879 that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
Rob Landley17507fa2006-05-08 02:22:24 +0000[diff] [blame]880
881 About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
882 your kernel.
