I think the biggest problem with these icons is that either the dev has run away or only chooses to talk to certain people...

p-v-m-0.1.15 seems to have a bit of a problem with this new facility/method of working in that accessing the partition that contains the frugal install displays the save directory contents rather than the partition contents.

I think it's because /etc/mtab (-> /proc/self/mounts) contains:
Quote:
/dev/sda1 /initrd/mnt/dev_save ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/sda1 /initrd/pupro1 ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0

Apparently only the second entry gets picked by pup-volume-monitor, probably in libpupvm/pupvm-monitor.c, lines 388+.
However I don't know C, so can't fix it...

HTH

/initrd/pupro1
is that where the folder is loaded to as i use pup_rw ?

When I stop bobbing around in the water I could take a look.... like the other fixed scripts it would only need a bit of filtering.

These icons are great (I have as default on Lucid) so perhaps someone could take over support for them.

Yep, if it's PUPMODE=13. In PUPMODE=12 mtab says:
Quote:
/dev/sda1 /initrd/mnt/dev_save ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/sda1 /initrd/pup_rw ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0

(btw, it was supposed to be pup_ro1, not pupro1, I made a typo)

Greetings!

I have asked for clarification of the difference in /etc/mtab between a savefile and a savefolder in Slacko6Beta:

The problem is in the subroutine, "void pup_vm_monitor_get_mounts_unlocked(PupVMMonitor *self)".

It expects to get only a single entry for each "f_ent.mnt_fsname", but when a "mount -o bind" is active, as it is with a savefolder, it gets an extra entry for each "mount -o bind". This extra entry has the same "f_ent.mnt_fsname" but a different "f_ent.mnt_dir".
The entry corresponding to the one expected, is the first one, but the current code stores the last one.
So, near the top of the loop it needs to "continue" if it gets an entry whose "f_ent.mnt_fsname" is the same as the previous entry.
Or it could "continue" if the hash table already contains an entry for this "f_ent.mnt_fsname". Maybe something like:
Code:
      entry.devnode = g_strdup(f_ent.mnt_fsname);
      if (g_hash_table_contains(self->mounts, entry.devnode))
         continue;
Or you could try using "g_hash_table_insert ()", instead of "g_hash_table_replace ()".

Yep, it's working correctly now, thanks Gyro!
Btw, any idea what can cause this one?

[later]
While poking in the source code I came across daemon/drive-probes.c and its PupVolume *pup_volume_new_from_blkid_cache(blkid_cache cache, const gchar *devnode) function (or whatever it's called in C).

After short investigation:
- old Slacko has only busybox blkid + util-linux-2.21.2-patched_f2fs-i486
- new Slacko has full blkid (util-linux-2.21.2 from slackware repo, but, apparently, it's not patched).

To confirm, I did replace /lib/libblkid.so.* with the one from Slacko-5.7 and indeed, p-v-m was able to recognize f2fs partitions after that.

Greetings!

Excellent #gyro - very many thanks for tracking that down.

I've recompiled p-v-m on Slacko6beta with the patch and both desktop-drive-icons and pcmanfm are now behaving as they should be when accessing the boot partition when a new savefolder is being used.

My only question is - why does my compile which uses the instructions given by akash-rawal in post #1 result in binaries that are at least 4 times bigger than his compiles???

#SFR - many thanks also for the f2fs fix - I haven't tried that one yet but will soon - wonder whether 01micko will include the needed patch in Slacko6?

Great example of puppy teamwork.
Cheers

Did you strip them?

Haven't tried it yet, but Mick has recompiled it already:

Stripped - thanks.

util-linux-2.12.2_f2fs-i686.pet fixes the f2fs problem.

Many thanks

No notification from forum Sad

ok I dropped PUPMODE=13 years ago (forgot about that pup_ro1 stuff) so not a problem for me as such and a test with save folder gave one working icon.

The only hiccup is it was possible to unmount the drive from the icon (since there are 2 mounts) and after that I was taken to /initrd/pup_rw which makes some sense but was unable to make the original /mnt/sda1 since I assume the icon saw an existing mount still present . In my case in sysinit I make mnt points that match the device rather than /mnt/home though the result is similar.
Not sure if that affects your arrangements....ie can you unmount the pup drive from the icon and what happens after that?

Also a sr0 appeared from nowhere..not sure about that..was testing in qemu and no /dev/sr0 was enabled!

just checked and nope, I'm not able to unmount home clicking the icon directly and all the right-click options (mount/unmount/eject) are greyed out.
No matter if it was PM 12 or 13 (Slacko-5.9.3).

So in your case it's e.g. /mnt/sda1, but "normally" it's /initrd/mnt/dev_save and P-V-M apparently checks for '/initrd/' string:
Code:
      else if (strstr(entry.mntpnt, "/initrd/"))
      {
         entry.flags |= PUP_VOLUME_MNTD_SYSTEM;
      }

Greetings!

hmm well the /initrd/mnt/pupwhatever is still there... its bind mounted up to /mnt/sda1 rather than symlinked /mnt/home...which would cause a similar reaction to the initial problem in this post.

Thats ok I was checking it was fixed for standard puppies.

Happy drive iconing

Mike

Ps I wonder since you have taken up pup_volume_monitor ..or at least provide fixews....it should get a fresh thread?
