You must use DADiskPeekCallback() to issue the DADiskClaim() ahead of time. I'm working on a disk formatting utility to support some specialized media and file system types, and I'm running into a bit of a problem with Disk Arbitration. I don't seem to be able to prevent the disk insertion (unrecognized volume) dialog from appearing after I issue a low-level format call to the device. Currently, I use diskutil to unmount the disk (if it was mounted - it's possible that there is unformatted media in the drive, and therefore no IOMedia object). I then ask the driver to format the media - if it had an IOMedia object, it tears it down, and formats the disk, and re-enables polling. In the disk appeared callback, I call DADiskClaim, in an attempt to prevent the unrecognized volume dialog from appearing. Apparently it's too late at this point. My diskClaimed callback gets called, the disk gets partitioned, and everything proceeds normally, except that there is an unwanted dialog on the screen. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
