Quoting vermaden <verma...@interia.pl> (from Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:36:46 +0100):
Unfortunately, I spent a few days that would
have to understand how it is possible to
detect the inserted CD-ROM with devd; but
alas - the only thing that detects changes
in the drive CD-ROM - a :sysctl kern.geom.conftxt
before inserting the disc:
kern.geom.conftxt: 0 DISK cd0 0 2048 hd 0 sc 0
...
after inserting the disc:
kern.geom.conftxt: 0 DISK cd0 4700372992 2048 hd 0 sc 0
Thanks, at least we have 'something' we can cepend on.
I can create an 'active wait' daemon for that, like the skel below:
while sleep 3
do
case $( sysctl -n kern.geom.conftxt ) in
(0 DISK cd0 0 2048 hd 0 sc 0)
echo "No CD in the drive ..."
# umount procedure ...
;;
(0 DISK cd0 * * hd 0 sc 0)
echo "We have CD here!"
# do something about it lile mount_cd9660
;;
esac
done
But a devd(8) event would be far better, maybe some somple commit to
devd(8) would help here? My knowledge does not allow me to add these
bits to devd(8).
The kernel does not poll for CD changes, and the people guarding the
relevant CD code where against something like this in the kernel
everytime this came up in the past. So no devd event for this.
Bye,
Alexander.
