EFST tips & tricks: Batch mounting
07 Aug 2015
A commond question about EFST is how to configure automount at login. While easy enough to do via a custom startup script, for the time being this functionality it’s not available out-of-the-box. However, since version 0.26 there is a way to batch-mount all EFST configured folders:
$ efsm mount -en +
In addition to providing a specific entry name, ‘–the entry-name’ options also accepts ‘+’ symbol that tells efsm to go for batch mounting.
Similarly, to batch-unmount all currently mounted EFST folders:
$ efsm umount -en +
To exclude a folder from batch mounting, just use the “–no-batch-mount” option:
$ efsm create -en NoBatchMountFolder -bp ~/Dropbox/.secret_nobatchfolder -nb
or
$ efsm register -en NoBatchMountFolder -bp ~/Dropbox/.secret_nobatchfolder -nb
