That's what "scsi hotplugging" support should help with. You're looking at completely the wrong level ... it's not relevant that USB was involved at the lowest level; what's relevant is that when you access /dev/foobar it's SCSI. It's somewhere in the works for 2.5 as I recall. That'll provide clean notifications of new SCSI devices, and given those and a policy you can figure out where to mount them. Meanwhile you might look at "devfs", which can also tell you when new SCSI devices appear. I suspect some folk already have "devfs" based tools to mount disks as they appear ... called by "devfsd". Of course, if you want a reasonable volume management solution you're going to _have_ to insist that your media have some kind of label. If there's been some advance over the past few decades that has repealed that fact of life, I missed it ... :) - Dave _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
