hi there, i am trying to trick /etc/hotplug/attach into mounting the sd card from my android smartphone.
the principal problem seems to be that at the time of e.g. sd2 showing up, the disklabel is not ready yet. (maybe the delay is the time android needs to unmount it) as no disklabel is ready, 'label:' is also empty and nothing happens. so i set out to try make a small sleep loop until disklabel can return the label instead of "ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Input/output error" but it seems like disklabel does not really differentiate between failures. $ sudo disklabel sd2 disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Input/output error tyin:~$ echo $? 4 $ sudo disklabel sd3 disklabel: /dev/rsd3c: Device not configured $ echo $? 4 also, i could not find the return codes in the disklabel man page. is there a way to differentiate between the error situations? i dont want to loop forever... with all these usb thingies, would it make sense to have a disklabel parameter to return just the label/duid for scripting purposes? -f -- the greatest hate springs from the greatest love.
