Hello, As the device name of SCSI and USB devices change often I have wrote a small perl script which read a config file which contains : a symbolic name (the mount point too, as in fstab file for mount ;-) the identification and the mount options if any. It do a "camcontrol devlist", found the same substring in the config file which is beetwen the < > and use the da* or cd* to mount the device. Example: in config file: flash:SanDisk ImageMate II:-t msdos The camcontrol reports : <SanDisk ImageMate II 1.30> at scbus2 target 1 lun 0 (da2,pass4) and the script do mount -t msdos /dev/da2 /flash But may be there is the same function in a standard program or a port? If not, is this script interesting for other users? -- regisr
