Hi Sam, On Oct 13, 2003, at 8:21 PM, Sam Vaughan wrote: Something I only just noticed today was that if you navigate to our mount point in a Finder column view window, clicking on one of our mounted logical volumes results in an icon for it appearing on the desktop. 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. If your logical mounts are more like network volumes, like a SAN perhaps, then you wouldn't publish IOMedia objects. But if the logical volumes are tied to a local (emphasis on local) storage device, like a directly-attached RAID array, then you would publish them in a filter scheme driver as discussed in "Writing Drivers for Mass Storage Devices": <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/ MassStorage/07_Media_Example/index.html> Of course my next question would be how to change the icon we get ;-) Sam On Tuesday, Oct 14, 2003, at 01:55 Australia/Melbourne, Garth Cummings wrote: Ultimately, DiskArb has to be involved in mounts that you want Finder to see.
