linux下自动mount各种即插即用设备的一个小程序源码 文件包含内容： /vold.h /vold.c /split.h /split.c /disktype-6/disktype.c

DISCLAIMER
==========
This is an alpha release of the volume daemon.
Use this program at your own risk. If this program deletes your data, its not
my fault. You have been warned!! (It never deleted anything on my computer, if
this helps you :-)


What it can do now:
Automatically mount USB-Memory Sticks (maybe iPods too)

Installing
===========

First you have to create a directory /Volumes (world writeable is ok)

Then you can compile vold with 'make'. Be sure to have libuuid installed!
Start vold by typing ./vold (you have to be root!)


Running vold
=============

If you unplug your memory stick you will get an errormessage telling you to 
first unmount it. You have to be root to unmount the devices mounted by vold
because /etc/mtab is not yet updated. See /proc/mounts for all current mount-
points.

There are three different types of devices:

1. Devices not handled by vold
2. Devices handled by vold and scanned every N seconds (default 1 second)
3. Devices handled by vold and scanned on SIGUSR1

In future you can add the devices handled by vold to the vold.conf file.
Right now they are hardcoded at the end of vold.c in main().

/dev/hda1 - /dev/hda9 are checked periodically while
/dev/sda1 - /dev/sda4 and /dev/sdb1 - /dev/sdb4 are only checked on SIGUSR1

If you plug in your USB-Stick make sure to type

# kill -SIGUSR1 <pid_of_vold>

Debugging vold
===============

There are two debug switches in vold which will produce lots of (interesting?)
output.

The first is vold's own debug switch. set debug=1 at vold.c at the top.

The second is in disktype/disktype.h. Uncomment //#define DEBUG at the top.



IMPORTANT
==========

disktype is not yet fully converted to a library. Not all filesystems can be 
detected right now. CD-Rom support isn't converted as well.

If it doesn't work, enable the debug switches and try to find out why. If you
still have problem don't hesitate to write me a mail at [e-mail]
