Introduction
- GETD is a GTK2 application that aim to make use of travelling,
storage usb disk on linux more easier than it actually is.
- How ??? : Getd automatically detect any new complient
devices attached to the usb bus, it can mount then on preselected mount
point and allow you to execute a specific script,
for exemple, backing up data, opening application like picture
browser... this is plug... and play....
- with getd you can also mount crypted disk, ( making of
such
devices is planned but though this is a beta release, those functions
are not set yet )
- Who need GETD ??? : If you only have one travelling disk and do
not need it so much, you may skip the use of GETD, a simple
entry on fstab may be enough... Since usb storage doesn't alloc device
number statically, intense use of several disk, doing always the same
operation, more if crypted, can become quickly boring. You might like

work.
- NOTA : Use of external usb HDD is no yet covered, if you own such
disk, i need more information.
- use of GETD and automounter software on the same devices/disk may
not work correctly.
