Karl.
I tried inserting your code segment into /sbin/probepart and I did the first part.
I think I blew it because I did not delete any existing code and commented out some with semicolons.
Would it be possible for you to attach the modified /sbin/probepart file zipped up to a post here?

Just call me dumb. But I want to get it right and after having pmount fail to start and otherwise being unable to mount anything, I just want to get it right.

I did have the foresight to make a backup of my pupsave file before I tried it.

Also, I did nothing with your second code snipit. you show.

So again, if you could perchance attach that zipped file to a post, I would be most pleased and have enough CDs and DVDs of various formats to give that a good test.

Also, to answer the previous question on the udf format disk, I was wrong about using Nero.
It is actually a feature in Windows that allows one to use a DVD or CD as a hard drive with read/write/delete capabilities just like a hard drive.
It allows adding individual files to a CD or DVD.
And in that way, you could say it acts like a disk made "open session" in Puppy.
So in fact, I was reading the contents of a udf format disk that was open session in windows.

For PMOUNT code see the post below the probepart code post .

AND i have to say that the filtering line

#v408 v410 moved up...
VALIDPARTS="`echo "$PARTSINFO" | grep -i -E 'FAT|vfat|msdos|ntfs|minix|ext2|ext3|ext4|reiser|xfs|iso9660|udf'`"

also occurs in /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d

PROBEPART="`probepart -k | grep -i -E '\|FAT.*|\|ext4|\|ntfs|\|msdos|\|vfat|\|ext2|\|ext3|\|iso9660|\|xfs|\|reiser|\|udf'`"

and probably several times . I have put that into a function on the installation i am on now :

probepart_func() {
PROBEPART="`probepart -k | grep -i -E '\|FAT.*|\|ext4|\|ntfs|\|msdos|\|vfat|\|ext2|\|ext3|\|iso9660|\|xfs|\|reiser|\|udf'`"
}

I am working on getting Xorg-server-1.3.0 to work with Puppy 4 on my current machine so my focus is there for the moment .

[edit fixed srew from " \|udf| " to " |\|udf " in pup_event_frontend_d AND probepart code .. "|" at the very end of the line would not filter anything but grep everything .. /edit]

As far as i can see it /sbin/pup_event_fromtend_d

has got three lines to append udf file system format recognition :

[Karl Godt]

Now i have a kernel running compiled with

DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT

in kernel hacking section

which makes cat /proc/partitions look like

major minor #blocks name

Therefore i had disktype command inserted into /sbin/probepart

AND for the udf issue the code looks like this :

[playdayz]

Simply substituting this code into /sbin/probepart in place of the corresponding code does not solve the problem for me. With this substitute code I do not get an icon for the sr0, if I boot with the dvd in the drive or if I insert the dvd after booting. Additionally, if I run pmount the usb drives are listed as optical drives.

[Karl Godt]

Second time : the

PMOUNT CODE ADJUSTMENTS ARE IN THE POST BELOW THE PROBEPART CODE

The tiny tiny headline is probably the cause for not reading carefully .

Anyway , the code works for me , BUT if i boot with udf dvd inserted , the DVD drive does not stop spinning , until i mount it .

for i in `seq 1 1 $RANDOM`;do

echo "HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL !!!!!"

done

ATTACHMENT : from my Macpup_Opera_2 full installation :

pmount,probepart,pup_event_frontend_d

drop into the appropriate dirs like /sbin,/usr/sbin

use find command to determine dir OR pfind

as usual : if your HW does not survive .... look for another !

I will attach the three files from other partitions the next days !

people mentioned in pup_event_frontend_d would roughly get the idea for the code

[sc0ttman]

I use the guess_fstype binary in my customised pmount script, so that UDF ISOs work fine

[Karl Godt]

Now i have got the cause for the ever running DVD drive :

In /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d there is a line

[ "$ICONDESK" = "false" ] && continue #v405 see /etc/eventmanager

SO IF ICONDESK=false it does not mean there are no drive icons on the desktop but one single icon labeled " drives " .

The code line
[ "$ICONDESK" = "false" ] && continue
would prevent the execution of some code below that line that would poll the ZIP and CD drives every 4 seconds .

The CD drives would be polled by the 'probe_optical_func' AND " if CD not mounted " every 4 seconds

cddetect_quick -d/dev/${DRV_NAME} >/dev/null 2>&1 #very fast.

would check for CDROM inserted .

That had been the ^ culprit ^ .

I have reworked /usr/sbin/eventmanager AND changed HOTPLUGON to DESKDAEMON and added ZCDPOLL variable .

But I feel it would be pre alpha to be released because it needs also /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d to be adjusted for that .

When i come to one point , i get the idea for the next point ...

I have actually put the AUTOUNMOUNT into the POWERTIMEOUT part to check for possibility to unmount every minute not every 4 seconds [ and much more ] .

HAVE FUN !

I can confirm this problem on Slacko531

This works

mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /mnt/sr0

Pmount doesn't. Having tried modding any code yet.
