From my experiment earlier:

Code:
sh-3.00# /root/probedisk
/dev/hdc|cdrom|MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8175
/dev/hda|disk|IC25N020ATDA04-0
/dev/sda|Direct-Access|LEXAR    JD FIREFLY       
sh-3.00# /root/probepart
libcfdisk: unable to open /dev/sda
/dev/hdc|iso9660|0|MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8175
/dev/hda1|vfat|36968337|Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2|swap|2086560|Linux Swap


Obviously probepart is looking for sda which is not there, however it may be thinking it's there by paying attention to probedisk! So maybe only probedisk needs fixing.

If you hadn't noticed my edit above, I found that MUT also uses /var/log/messages...

Yeah, I think /var/log/messages is probably the easiest way to go. If I get bored I'll try and think up ways to get rid of probedisk alltogether but for now I think this script should solve the problem.

Well, I tried it on 211 and it looked like it worked, sort of (although when I pulled one out, pmount acted like both flash drives were gone). I tried in 213 and nothing worked, I think because of mrxvt. Then going back to 211 it is even more broken:

Code:
sh-3.00# probedisk
/dev/hdc|cdrom|MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8175
/dev/hda|disk|IC25N020ATDA04-0
/dev/sda|Direct-Access|LEXAR JD FIREFLY
/dev/sdb|Direct-Access|LEXAR JD FIREFLY


MUT knows sda is the IntelligentStick.

Weird, here's mine with the revised probedisk:

Code:

sh-3.00# probedisk
/dev/hda|disk|IC25N080ATMR04-0
/dev/hdc|cdrom|HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N
/dev/sda|Direct-Access|WD 1600JB External
/dev/sdb|Direct-Access|JetFlash TS1GJF110
/dev/sdc|Direct-Access|GENERIC USB Storage-CFC


I'm in 2.11 right now. I have audio and usb issues with the new kernel. Are you using the newest version of pmount and not the original 2.11 pmount? After going back into 2.11 you moved the revised probedisk into /sbin/?

After a while of taking out and re-inserting the usb drives MUT, pmount, and probedisk all show the same and correct information.

Just using the 211 pmount. Now I recall it had problems <sigh> I will get the one in 213. However pmount should not affect the way probedisk works, right? That's still broken.

I followed your instructions for probedisk and probedisk2.

Did you try pulling and reinserting a flash drive? That's when mine went bad...

Yeah, I pulled and re-inserted my usb drives and all the correct information was retained in probedisk.

Running 2.13b2 from my eBox right now (no pup_save file) and tried plinej's probedisk script. Seems to work okay. Here's an excerpt:
Code:
sh-3.00# probedisk
/dev/hda|disk|CF-ATA
/dev/sda|Direct-Access|SanDisk Cruzer Mini
/dev/sdb|Direct-Access|USB 2.0 Mobile Disk
sh-3.00#
sh-3.00# probedisk
/dev/hda|disk|CF-ATA
/dev/sdb|Direct-Access|USB 2.0 Mobile Disk
sh-3.00#
sh-3.00# probedisk
/dev/hda|disk|CF-ATA
/dev/sda|Direct-Access|SanDisk Cruzer Mini
/dev/sdb|Direct-Access|USB 2.0 Mobile Disk
sh-3.00#

Ineresting to see what happens when using 'stock' 2.13b2 pmount with plinej's probedisk:

pmount reports correctly:
sda 'SanDisk' drive /dev/sda1
sdb 'USB 2.0' /dev/sdb1

Pulled 'SanDisk', now pmount doesn't report *any* USB drive.

Plugged 'SanDisk' back in, pmount reports both USB drives exactly as before.

Pulled 'USB 2.0', pmount correctly reports the SanDisk sda drive.

Seems like pmount stops looking for USB drives if it can't find sda.

pakt,

Does the newly updated pmount do that too? If not, does the modified probedisk report back correctly when pmount doesn't?

Unfortunately, it does - no difference.

Yes, probedisk gives the right results:

I'll have to look over pmount tomorrow if I get a chance. Time for NYE's festivities.

In the meantime I added a little more to my modified probedisk script. Now it should find your usb drives, hard drives, & usb cdroms. I haven't added any code for floppy or zip yet. I have no floppy on my laptop but I could do some testing on another computer when I get a chance.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

### a re-write for probedisk (usb portion)
### the original probedisk has problems with usb information

If anyone has a zip drive, let me know where all the pertinent information is stored (maybe in proc) so I can add that to the script. Post the info as it appears in the file(s). I'll need to know where the device information is stored (/dev/whatever) and the vendor/model information.

Please do not use the libhardware 0.7.4 source, it has some bugs.
I discussed this with Antonio ages ago. I am using source dated 20060703, if I recall rightly, it some some mods by me.
...hmmm, I see my source isn't at puptrix.org/sources/.

Antonio did put fixes into his CVS code, but he has stopped working on
it and it has never progressed to a release version. He has however
packaged the CVS here (20060805):
http://www.badpenguin.org/pub/software/libhardware/

...so, perhaps that has some further improvements.

Ha, I have just found my source (and the required libbadpenguin):
