node-mount

Mount/umount devices from node.js

Really works on linux, may work on OS X, and will never work on windows.

##Difference to the original version?

• True asynchronous mount call, so it will not block the whole application if my DVD is scratched and takes ages to mount
• Corrected terms... "unmount" was renamed to "umount" (equal to the C-API)
• More flag options (noexec)
• Node-like error-callback to report the original error-code of the C-API
• More detailed documentation
• Some small tests

##Installation This package is not featured in NPM, so you have to add this file in your package.json file:

Part of package.json:

{
    "name" : "myproject",
    "version" : "1.0",
    ...
    ...
    "dependencies" : {
        "mount" : "git+ssh://git@github.com:magicpat/node-mount.git"
    }
}

Syntax

mount

mount(devFile, target, fsType, options, data)

• devFile - {String} - Device-File being mounted (located in /dev)
• target - {String} - Directory to mount the device to
• options - {String[]} - Array containing String options (see reference list)

options These (limited number of) options are equivalent to the mountflags parameter used by the C mount function (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mount.2.html). Following options are available:

• bind
• readonly
• remount
• noexec

umount

umount(target)

• target - {String} - Target path to umount (equivalent to target of mount)

Usage

Mount Tmpfs:

var mount = require("mount");
mount.mount('tmpfs', 'tmpDir', 'tmpfs', function(err) {
	if(err){
        return;
    }
    //Tmpfs mounted successfully
});

Mount DVD:

var mount = require("mount");
mount.mount('/dev/sr0', 'myDir', 'iso9660', function(err) {
    if(err){
        return;
    }

    //
});

Umount after successful mount:

var mount = requrie("mount");
mount.umount('myDir', function(err) {
    if(err){
        console.log("Umount went wrong: " + err);
        return;
    }

});
