- +The mount plugin allows you to mount devices such as hard disks, CD/DVD-ROM and network filesystems listed in your /etc/fstab and to also 
- +unmount currently mounted filesystems. You can specify custom commands for the mount/unmount operations, eject CDs, run a command after a 
-===== Usage ===== +device has been mounted (for example, ''exo-open'' to browse it in your file manager), and finally you can quickly see how full a filesystem is, and

Then go to the options dialog and specify your own mount command, which might be `sudo mount'. Make sure that sudo is configured to not ask for a password. +

You can check so by clicking the hard disk icon again and see, whether it is still mounted, or specify to display a short messages after successfully unmounting the mounted volume. +

-So, basically, everything works now, but you have network file systems which might be nice to be displayed... Well, there's another option to include network file systems. +
