Well... 
cast ivman
And it should just work. :-)
Note that smgl-messagebus, hald and ivmand scripts should have been started 
(sorcery should have asked you that...) 

ivmand uses the /etc/fstab entries to mount the devices. For example, you 
insert a cdrom in /dev/hda, ivmand launch the command mount /dev/hda. So you 
may have to edit the file /etc/ivman/IvmanConfigMappings.xml if you use 
symlink in your /etc/fstab on your devices (like /dev/cdrom->/dev/hda). This 
file is well commented. You have to indicate which real devices maps which 
symlink.

This is the minimal configuration to get the stuff working. You can take a 
look at the /etc/ivman/IvmConfigActions.xml to do more advanced things 
(launch a dvd player when a dvd is inserted, etc...)

The USB sticks mounting are still under developpment... I guess they have to 
deal with flushing the file system to the stick before the user savagely 
removed it...

I hope I detailed enough ;-)

Shall I do a small WIKI page for this ?
