Subject description: for a smaller interface		  
This is pretty much a "proof of concept". I just took the pmount from 2.17-exp1 and squeezed it into tabs, without trying to pretty it up.
I tried to avoid making any other improvements, so any complaints about bad functionality should go to Barry (in my case, the swap partition is declared "unused" -- though it is used -- probably because it's mounted as "/initrd/dev/hda2", rather than "/dev/hda2").

The first version is just everything squeezed into tabs in the original order.
The second version has the tab order reversed (so you start with SATA/USB, then IDE HDs, then swap, cdroms and floppy). Note that the first (left most) tab is the one shown by default.
The third version is like the second, only the cdroms are put into a "cdroms" tab.

Yes, I've done some bugfixing since 2.17exp1.

I'll look at your script and see if I can patch in the fixes.

It looks nice with the tabs!

I like the third one best. With the cd drives in one tab. Since they don't have partitions. Very Happy

Subject description: hda10 error?		  
Dear Dougal,

As you can see from the attached, the last hda entry (hda1) has been "merged" with hda10 on my machine. The drive contains three ntfs partitions, two vfats, one reiser and one linux swap. Any ideas why this is so?

Apart from that infelicity, I like the new format, since the old one used to fill up my screen.

With kind regards,
vovchik

I've updates the third (which is now at the top).
It had a little bug where it wouldn't work on machines with no cdroms.

Is it only in my version, or also in Barry's from 2.17-exp1? It's probably the result of running grep on something, without a space/delimiter after what you're searching for.
Example:
Code:
probepart | grep 'hda1' | cut -d'|' -f1
will give two partitions, rather than one (it should be "grep 'hda1|'")

Subject description: It's in this version		  
Dear Dougal,

I don't know whether it's also in Barry's version, since I only tried yours today and haven't yet installed 2.17e. I just tried the new pmount3 and it still shows hda10 (vfat) and home (hda1 -ntfs) lumped together as the last entry - as in the image attached above.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Barry, one of the things that MUT does and Pmount doesn't is to show partitions hidden by Grub (Type: Amoeba). As I use multiple versions of Puppy on one drive, I find it useful to be able to mount alternative partitions, even though I have hidden them at boot.

If you are going to be looking at merging in Dougal's excellent update, would it be possible to see if this problem can be solved as well? TIA.

Warren

I didn't touch that when fixing it, I'm leaving it for Barry to deal with.

Okay, this is the latest pmount, with a fix for the hda1 -- hda10 bug (I think). I haven't had time to apply Dougal's tabbed interface yet.

Note, this pmount is designed to work with the new probepart and probedisk in 2.17exp1, so may not be quite right in earlier puppies.

Subject description: one small bug left		  
Dear Barry,

As you can see from the screenshot, you found the main bug and fixed it. Thanks. The only minor thing left is that the disk capacity for hda1 (home) is shown as "." and not 41 GB - as it the case. You can understand why I think Dougal's tabbed approach is perfect for my installation. If I were to plug in another USB drive or flash, the listing would go off screen...and it's without scrollbars.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Not to mention if you had a floppy and a second cdrom...

Thanks Dougal. I do have a floppy - but it's not showing. I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. I do have a DVD RW, and that shows....

Floppy drive not showing? ....aaargh! I just fixed it for someone else.

Oh well, can you test, the same as the other person did....

# grep 'fd0' /var/log/messages
