In my opinion, mount should automatically mount the file system without
having to be told the fstype.
If that doesn't work, then I'd suggest a program map. Something simple
should work:
---[cut here]---
#!/bin/bash
ntfs-3g.probe /dev/sda1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/$1
RET=$?
else
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/$1
RET=$?
fi
exit $RET
---[cut here]---
I know this is an embedded system, but don't you still have hal/udev and
hotplug events? Personally, I have no experience wiring these things
up, but I think that's the right place for this sort of thing.
Cheers,
Jeff
