reformat drive to HFS via API
I would like to be able to reformat a flash drive from control application, but it appears that there is no public API that allows this kind access. Am I missing something in the documentation? Or do I do something like call out to diskutil to make it happen?

RESOLVED: Blocked Reads
Thank you all for your ideas. With various suggestions, I found a variation of the CDRomSample code that seems to work well. The sample does reads on the BSN Name of the device root (i.e. /dev/rdisk#). I have found that if I dig a little deeper into the IORegistry for the device (i.e. /dev/rdisk#s0), the code works. Rich colors wrote: I am running into a problem with anti-virus software. I need to be able to read a file from a USB CD and I need the read to actually go over the USB bus. Why do you need the read to go over the USB bus? If the OS itself has cached some disk data, why force it to be transferred over the bus again? What are you trying to accomplish? Does anyone have any thoughts about 1) what the AV SW is doing?, and 2) how to get around what it is doing? If there were a simple way to get around the AV SW, then malware would be able to use it to get around the AV SW, thus nullifying the AV SW. -- GG ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

determinate NSProgressIndicator animation
In a determinate NSProgressIndicator the blue portion animates in some application (Finder copy is an easy example). I have noticed that this is not always the case. My guess is that the animation takes place in the main thread of the application, but if the main thread is busy, the animation does not take place. Is my guess basically correct? Is there an easy way around this - other than spin off a bunch of threads.

Re: determinate NSProgressIndicator animation
I have read that document, but it indicates that this method (as well as start and stopAnimation:) only apply to indeterminate progress indicators - is this not true?
