Hi Brian, thanks for the response. You don't happen to know what the calls I need to make to DiskArb are, do you? If that's all there is to it, we should be able to achieve what we want by calling DiskArb from our mount code right after the mount succeeds. I've been through the NFS code a few times without coming across anything like this. I'll have another look now I've got a better idea what I'm searching for. Thanks for the URLManager tip too - I'll do some digging there as well.

The icon is the black globe on a graphite external disk, just like the one you get for NFS mounts. So do we really need to publish IOMedia objects in the IORegistry? The fact that mounting an NFS volume results in the same icon on the desktop with no change to the IORegistry makes me suspicious. That is all DiskArb at work. The Finder noticed a mount point and registered it with DiskArb. Of course my next question would be how to change the icon we get ;-) You can only do that with the URLManager, but that is not a public framework yet (as of Jag, don't know about Panther). _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
