Talk:Utthumb

From Sun Ray User Group Wiki

I tried to use this script on version Solaris 10 8/07 with Sunray SRSS 4.0 and had some trouble to access my usb device. I used the front usb of my SunRay 2FS client. After plugging my 2gb usb device in, the command "utdiskadm -l" returns the follwing output :

Device	Partition	Mount Path
disk2	disk2p0
disk2	disk2p1	/tmp/SUNWut/mnt/mischins/usbdisk_0

Utthumb displays following :

Operation	Partition	Mount Point
Scan	For-New	Thumb-Drives
View-disk2	disk2p0	Stale:PLease-Scan-Again-To-View
Remove-disk2	disk2p0	Not-Mounted-Ready-To-Remove/Unplug
View-disk2	disk2p1	/tmp/SUNWut/mnt/mischins/usbdisk_0
disk2	disk2p1	/tmp/SUNWut/mnt/mischins/usbdisk_0

After selecting the View-disk2 disk2p1 /tmp/SUNWut/mnt/mischins/usbdisk_0 field I get the error dialog "Your thumb drive (disk2) is stale. It appears to be physically in, but not mounted.Please scan again". But this does not help.

It seems to me, that utthumb.ksh has also to check, if the mountpoint is not empty. For this I edited the nawk command in the scan function(near line 50). The changes are marked bold :

scan() {
   set -A thumb Scan For-New Thumb-Drives `$utdiskcmd -l | \
       /usr/bin/nawk '$1 !~ /^Device/ && $1 !~ /^------/ && $3  ~ "tmp" \
       {printf("View-%s %s %s Remove-%s %s %s ", $1, $2, ($3 == "" ?      "Stale:Please-Scan-Again-To-View":$3), \
       $1, $2, ($3 == "" ? "Not-Mounted-Ready-To-Remove/Unplug":$3))}'`
   if [ "$debug" = "1" ]; then
        echo "DBUG-scan(): thumb(Op-Device/Part/MountPt):${thumb[*]}"
   fi
}

Since the default mount point for the usb device lies in /tmp/... , this change affects that only devices with an valid mount point are listed.
