Hey Jim,
You can catch the disk in DADiskMountApprovalCallback to let us know
not to mount it. We unfortunately do not provide a library to edit a
partition map programmatically yet. It is feasible to edit the
partition map of the root volume in Tiger, however, not through /usr/
sbin/gpt. You must open the disk with O_SHLOCK and make the edits
manually.

I'm munging a disk with gpt commands. Doing some removing, adding

After each operation the volume gets re-mounted. Since this is
asynchronous I have to wait for it to happen, then dismount it
again. The Finder movement is visually noisy. The process takes
longer than it ought to. And generally it is just sloppy.
Is there a way to make the system ignore the disk I'm operating on
until I've sewn it back up and wheeled it out of the OR and into
Recovery?
I also need to be able to resize the root partition (doable) then
change its content hint. I don't need anyone to actually pay
attention to the changed hint until a reboot. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Jim
