Just a (rather crude) quickhack:
#!/bin/sh
SLEEP=300
MOUNTED=0
while [ 1 ]; do
sleep $SLEEP
if [ $MOUNTED = 0 ]; then
mount -t ufs2 /dev/ad4s1d /hd2 >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = "0" ]; then
MOUNTED=1
fi
else
touch /hd2/.touchme >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = "1" ]; then
umount -f /hd2 >/dev/null 2>&1
MOUNTED=0
fi
fi
done
Basically, this'll try every $SLEEP seconds to either mount
the disk or, once this has been done successfully, to touch
a file on /hd2. If that fails, the disk's no longer there,
so force-unmount it.
I can't really test it, so I'm none too sure this works, though. :(
HTH,
Mario
