I have a C program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/select.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/mount.h>
int main(void) { if (fork() == 0) { int i, sret, ret = -1; unsigned char usb_dev[10]; struct stat st; sprintf(usb_dev, "/dev/sda1"); printf("USB STORAGE automount "); while(1) { if ((stat(usb_dev, &st) == 0)) { if (ret == -1) { ret = mount(usb_dev, "/usbdrive", "vfat", MS_NOATIME, ""); if (ret == 0) { printf("usb storage mounted\n"); } else { printf("trying to mount usb storage..\n"); } } } else { if (ret == 0) { if (umount("/usbdrive") == 0) printf("usb storage unmounted\n"); ret = -1; } } sleep(2); } } printf(": started\n"); return 0; } I compiled it to an executable: usb_automount. I did push it to a folder inside android linux kernel: /system/bin/ I added this in init.rc and then compile the ramdisk image. And it doesn't work instead "init: untracked pid 2194 exited" is displayed in the terminal. When the program is executed manually, it works well. service usbmount /system/bin/usb_automount user automount group automount socket automount stream 666 ---- I have also tried below and it doesn't work. on boot exec /system/bin/usb_automount ---- Then I tried this, not working again. service usbmount /system/bin/usb_automount user usbmount disabled oneshot ---- Finally I tried this, (usb_automount program not used anymore) but it has no positive result either. on device-added-/dev/sda1 mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /usbdrive on device-removed-/dev/sda1 umount /usbdrive My init.rc is really useless it does not do anything except the things already written to it and "mkdir /usbdrive" which is the only thing I added that worked. Hours of recompiling really waste my time just for editing init.rc. Can someone help me out here? What am I missing? Any help is greatly appreciated. You can send me a private reply if preferred.
