Oops... the one thing I did change other than adding the tabs is that: I check for /sys/block/fd0...

I've updated "pmount3" in the original post.

Changes:
- fixed all high-partition-number bugs (including the size)
- fixed ordering of partitions inside device frame (was backwards)
- added support for exotic partition types (assuming probepart sees them)

Subject description: I get a runtime error		  
Dear Dougal,

I get the following error with the revised pmount3:
Code:
./pmount3
Killing old window
./pmount3: line 782: 16229 Terminated              yaf-splash -font "8x16" -outline 0 -margin 4 -bg orange -text "Puppy Drive Mounter

Please wait, probing hardware..."

** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 21, near token '</notebook>': syntax error

aborting...

root$ [~/my-applications/bin/test/puppy-scripts]->


Any idea why?

With kind regards,
vovchik

It's an error in the GTK syntax, which appears to be output to:

/tmp/pmountdlg.txt

mine is this:

Code:
<window title="Pmount Puppy Drive Mounter "icon-name="gtk-harddisk">
<vbox>
 <text use-markup="true">
 <label>"<b>DO NOT REMOVE MOUNTED MEDIA</b>"</label></text>

<notebook labels="sdb|sda|hda|cdroms">
<vbox><frame Drive: Maxtor 6 Y160P0           > 
    <hbox>
     <text><label>"/dev/sdb2
51.1G ext3"</label></text>
     <button>
      <input file>/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/hd24red.xpm</input>
      <action>echo 'EXIT=/dev/sdb2_XXX_RED'</action>
     </button>
    </hbox> </notebook>
 <hbox>
  <button><input file stock="gtk-refresh"></input><label>REFRESH</label>
    <action>echo 'EXIT=REFRESH'</action>
  </button>
  <button><input file stock="gtk-quit"></input><label>QUIT</label></button>
   </hbox>
</vbox>
</window>


I'm reviewing the output from pmount2 and it's a bit different. Something isn't nesting correctly in the loops I think.

I've fixed that problem -- had forgotten to change some variable name in the SATA/USB section.

Subject description: Great work!		  
Dear Dougal and Barry,

It works like a charm now on my system (version 3.1). Thanks to both of you for this excellent utility. One perhaps trivial question, though: why use yaf-script now when that same function was accomplished by gtkmessage in previous versions? yaf-script is uglier than gtxmessage (which can display antialiased fonts whereas yaf dislplays ugly X fonts) but it does have a nice clock function if you are waiting for some other process to finish. Just wondering...

With kind regards,
vovchik

That is a matter for philosophical debate... I find yaf-splash pretty ugly, but apparently Barry prefers it.

Great work!! Very Happy

All it needed was this one line in probepart at line 63:

Code:
  [ "$FSTYPE" = "unknown" ] && if [ "`disktype /dev/$DEVICE | grep 'HFS Plus'`" = "HFS Plus file system" ];then
   FSTYPE="hfsplus"
   fi

Note, the probepart-bk4 posted earlier by me is way out of date. The latest probepart and probedisk are in 2.17alpha. Okay, attached here too:

thanks Barry. you saved me a couple reboots. my wireless doesn't work (same as kirk's wife's laptop) and i have to keep reboot 2.17 anytime i want to test and then booting back into 2.16 to post, anyway...

same results. just throw that code in (it's about line 65). I'll attach it.

btw, mut sees it when mounted.

Barry, any thoughts on making puppy support hfsplus at boot up and shutdown?

that would really help puppy "Rule the Day"!

intel mac users would dig it also.

the module is pretty small for initrd, ~80k I think from memory.

probepart is used at shutdown to find the parts isn't it?

i can't remember a thing about how the boot up script finds them.

Dougal, I installed pmount3.

whenever I want to mount CD driver, I have to change the tab from hda to cdroms then click on the CD icon. That's okay. But as you know pmount refreshes once you mount something and this time it again opens up in hda tab. If I want to (and I usually do) view the contents of the cdrom I have to change the tab once again. and then click on the Rox button.

can we change this? If I mount cdrom it open in the cdrom tab once it refreshes?

Ideally, Jesses /usr/lib/mut/bin/guess_fstype should be extended to recognise hfsplus filesystems.
One problem with your modification to probepart is that 'disktype' will run everytime, for all partitions that are 'unknown' -- there could be a few of these. disktype is a bit slow.
What about 'fdisk -l'? -- does it identify a hfsplus f.s.?
-- the problem is, fdisk identifies the partition type, but that doesn't mean the partition has the correct f.s. in it.

The initial ramdisk has its own slightly modified version of probepart, called probepart_init. See /initrd/sbin.

Yes, I thought of that when I first implemented the tabs.
I don't know of a way to have a certain tab selected when you start, so I can't change that.
As for the Rox button, Pmount used to not have that, instead opening Rox automatically when the partition was mounted. This seems to have changed at some stage...
