The Mount Manager displays all mounted resources on the server and provides complete control over them.
Displayed resource types:
- Mounted physical disk partitions
- LVM volumes
- RAID partitions
- Network folders (SMB/CIFS, NFS)
Display options:
- View switching – display resources as tiles or list
- Live search – instant filtering of resources by name or path
- Filters – quick sorting by category:
- Local resources
- Network resources
- fstab members (entries in the automount configuration file)
Mount management:
- Mount / unmount – mounting and unmounting disks, partitions, and network resources
- fstab management – add, edit, and delete entries in
/etc/fstabfor automatic mounting at boot - Edit mount point – change the path where the resource is mounted
Statistics:
This section displays summary information:
- Number of currently mounted mount points
- Number of entries added to fstab (for automatic mounting)
Content Management Panel
The Content Management Panel provides convenient tools for navigating and filtering the resources displayed in the Mount Manager.
Features:
- Live search – instant search for resources by name or path without needing to press a “Find” button. Results update as you type.
- Type filters – quick sorting of displayed resources:
- All – show all resources
- Local – local disks and partitions only
- Network – network resources only (SMB/CIFS, NFS)
- In fstab only – resources added to
/etc/fstabonly (automatic mounting at boot)
- View switching – choose the preferred display format:
- Table (list) – compact display with columns (resource, type, mount point, status)
- Tiles – visual representation with icons and key information for each resource
Result:
After entering a search query or selecting a filter, the resource list automatically updates to show only items matching the criteria.
Mounted Filesystems
This section displays all currently mounted filesystems in either table or tile view.
Table columns (in Table view):
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Resource type (Local, Network, etc.) with color coding |
| Device/Source | Device or source (e.g., sda3, sda5) |
| Mount Point | Mount point path where the resource is attached |
| Filesystem | Filesystem type (ext4, xfs, swap, etc.) |
| Options | Mount options (e.g., rw,relatime, ro,relatime) |
| fstab | fstab status: in fstab (configured) or manual (manually added) |
| Actions | Management buttons for each resource |
Display modes:
- Table – compact representation with full set of columns for detailed analysis
- Tiles (cards) – visual representation with icons and key information for quick browsing
Management (Actions column / card buttons):
| Button | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ✏️ (Edit) | Edit mount point | Change the mount path |
| 📌 (Bookmark) | Add to fstab | Add entry to /etc/fstab for automatic mounting at boot (shown for manual mounts) |
| 🗑️ (Trash) | Remove from fstab | Remove entry from /etc/fstab (shown for resources already in fstab) |
| 💿 (Eject) | Unmount | Unmount the filesystem |
fstab color coding:
in fstab(green) – resource is in fstab, will be automatically mounted at bootmanual(gray) – resource was mounted manually, not added to fstab
Features:
- Resources in fstab can be removed from fstab
- Manually mounted resources can be added to fstab
- Mount point editing is available for any resource
- Any resource can be unmounted (except root
/and critical system paths)
Mount Button (Add Mount Point)
In the upper right corner of the section, there is a Mount button that opens a dropdown menu for adding new mount points.
Available resource types for mounting:
- Local Device – local disk or partition
- RAID Device – RAID array
- LVM Volume – LVM volume
- SMB/CIFS Share – Windows network folder (SMB/CIFS)
- NFS Share – NFS network folder
How it works:
When you select a resource type, the corresponding modal window opens, where you need to specify the mount parameters (device, mount point, options, etc.).
