I wrote a graphical mounter which depends only on GTK+-2, and Linux kernel version higher than 2.6.something - I don't rember at the moment. It also depends, obviously, on the presence of a C library. It's called "hopman" and was announced on this list. I found a bug about 1 year ago: it happens to consume 100% of a cpu when a loop device is created. I didn't take the time to debug it because I feel tired - I'm 70 and have several few other concerns. I started to internationalize it but didn't find a satisfactory way to manage the internationalization files and integrate them to the build process. For all these reasons, it hasn't been debianized. As it is, it is the only tool I use to mount USB sticks. It gives me full satisfaction on everyday use, and I think this is the one Steve uses. It is based on inotify watching /dev and /dev/disk/by-label, and a custom recursive function designed to browse /sys. -- Didier _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
