"For the Mount() method, the name for the mount point directory in /media
can be specified. Also the usual otions passed to the mount call can be
passed as a single string:
  /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_3e999973_00c9_4917_9442_b7633bd95b9e.Mount("Photos",
"ro,iocharset=iso8859-1")
will request the mounting of the device at /media/Photos. It will be mounted
read-only and with the specified character encoding."

there are even the shell scripts that will be probably (if not
already) included in hal
