zigbert !
I've replaced /usr/local/pdrive/func_probe with the file you attached.
This fixed the detection problem with hda10. Every partition was shown correctly (hda1 as vfat; hda10 as swap).
Thank you.
kjoe
PS: In your prior post '...This should prevent it to detect hda10 as swap.' you meant hda1, right?

Gave 0.22 a shot - still wouldn't mount hda1 on my harddrive..... Strange thing is, Barry's new pmount is working fine.
Here is the message shown when trying to mount....
Error - Choose one of the partitions.

So you highlight your hda1 partition by selecting it and you push mount and you get this message?
Works for me for my hda1 ntfs partition. (with 0.22)
BTW your hda1 doesn't happen to be your /mnt/home one?

1. Could you please confirm this bug. Did you select hda1, and then press 'mount'.
2. Could you please post a screenshot of Pdrive and Pmount. I am interesting in what headings it shows. If this is your 15-partition-disc, it would be rather informative
Thanks

Correct, either selecting the partition and pressing (un)Mount or double clicking on the partition result in the same message. Note: I can mount and unmount with the "new" pmount. Refreshing pdrive between shows the current state correctly, but it will not mount or unmount the partition.

Tried out the new version.................
and.............
IT WORKS.
Congratulations Zigbert, you have made my excessively partitioned drive
useable. Thank you very much for your hard work. I will continue testing to see if anything else comes up.

bug ?

zigbert,
Thanks for your work. !!
I am using Puppy-2.14.
I try your 0.21 version. ALL seems OK.
I try the last 0.23 version, and the size/free of drives/partitions reads wrong (about the double size).
pdrito.

Does Barrys new Pmount detect your size correct. I have not changed anything in Barrys sizedetection code (I think). Would you please post a screenshot of the the new Pmount together with Pdrive 0.23.

I too show double the drive size - free space is correct though.
Here is a screens shot...

Try this:
change the code at the start of func_probe
Code: Select all
PROBEPART="`probepart`"
DISKINFO="`probedisk`"
PARTSINFO="`echo "$PROBEPART" -k | grep -v 'none' | tr ' ' '_' | tr '\t' '_' | tr '\n' ' '`"
to
Code: Select all
PROBEPART="`probepart -k`"
DISKINFO="`probedisk`"
PARTSINFO="`echo "$PROBEPART" | grep -v 'none' | tr ' ' '_' | tr '\t' '_' | tr '\n' ' '`"
I moved the "-k" seems to have fixed the size problem (on my pc)

On puppy-214 I have this images:
Barry's pmount
Pdrive 0.23 version
When you ask me for the last Barry's pmount, do you meant on puppy-3.01 or puppy-4 alpha2 ?.

zigbert, the underlying code in pmount was a dog's breakfast. I've been intending to rewrite it for ages. I've attached the latest pmount (slightly later than the one I uploaded to ibiblio several days ago) and a bugfixed 'mount' script that has to be used for mounting ntfs.
You might like to examine the new code, and if you wish use it for Pdrive.

Just added this to pmount, at line 208:
else
[ "$DOFS" = "iso9660" ] && eject $DODEV

Pdrive is nothing new. Pdrive is no spicy code. Pdrive is just a new gui to Barrys code (Pmount). I can't tell too much about his code. I never took the time to investigate. If something drives aren't detected correct, the main question is: Does it in Pmount? if YES --> My code hasn't cloned well from Pmount. if NO --> We need a bugfix of Pmount / We need new code in Pdrive. Both is just fine with me. Pdrive used earlier the Pmount version in Puppy 3. From version 0.22, Pdrive uses the rewritten code of the latest Pmount in Dingo. Unfortunately I can't see the new Pmount package in the Puppy 4.00 repository. I grabbed it from an alpha-live-CD.
Sit Heel speak made me aware of the not working swap-detection in another thread. The NEW Pmount doesn't detect swaps, so here has my dirty hands been hacking again. My fault.
