Ah, that's looking useful. Thanks also to those who pointed out cfgadm. Now, what's that "Label" reported by rmformat? It's <unknown> in all the examples I have to try. Is this something I can set with rmformat or fdisk or something? So that I could recognize the volumes by a string I applied to it myself? Or are there serial numbers accessible on USB hard drives that I can get access to? That would be a unique identifier for each drive, and I could store those and use those to recognize which ones were mounted. >> Also try 'dmesg' after connecting the device. >> That last doesn't fit my model, I'm looking to check for the presence of various devices in a script run in cron, so the device may not have been connected *recently*. -- David Dyer-Bennet, [EMAIL PROTECTED]; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
