Description

toad(8) (Toad Opens All Devices) is a utility meant to be started from the OpenBSD hotplugd(8) attach and detach scripts. It will try to mount all partitions found on the device under /run/media/username/device. Where username is the active user login name and device is the type of the device: usb or cd, followed by its number (from 0 to 9). This follows the udev hierarchy in Linux which allows interaction with GLib/GIO's GUnixMount. It comes with toadd(8), a small daemon that will detect the insertion of a medium in the optical drives of the machine by periodically reading their disklabel(8) (every 8 seconds) and call toad(8) with the attach or detach argument respectively. If installed, the ntfs_3g package is used to improve NTFS support.
