Hi Jeremy,
It sounds as though the file system does not match against a media
object in I/O Kit. We require the media object in order to request
an ejection and also locate its icon. Does the disk in question not
have a media object created for it? Does the file system talk
directly to USB?

will mount and you can read and write files to them and everything
else you would normally expect to do.
By creating an appropriate bundle in /System/Library/FileSystems I
have got disks to automatically mount and appear as drives in the
Finder. However, I have two issues:
1. The Finder will not eject disks when you ask it to. When you
press the eject button next to the drive icon, nothing happens
except any open windows displaying the content of the drive revert
back up to the "computer" view.
2. The icon I am getting is the network drive icon. A USB drive
icon would be more appropriate.
The more pressing problem is the eject issue. How does the Finder
notify the OS that a volume should be unmounted and ejected?
