site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com I've seen some indication that I need a bundle in /System/Library/Filesystems to make this happen - but I can't find anything describing what that bundle should contain, and all of the pre-existing ones seem different from eachother. extern kern_return_t DiskArbDiskAppearedWithMountpointPing_auto( char * disk, unsigned reserved0032, char * mountpoint ); where: o reserved0032 is kDiskArbDiskAppearedNetworkDiskMask (see below) o mountpoint is the place where the disk is mounted enum { kDiskArbDiskAppearedNetworkDiskMask = 1 << 3 }; Share and Enjoy -- Quinn "The Eskimo!" <http://www.apple.com/developer/> Apple Developer Relations, Developer Technical Support, Core OS/Hardware _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

A file system bundle /is/ the right solution if you're developing a local file system. DiskArb will consult these file system bundles as it probes for file systems to mount any new local disks that appear. However, the story is very different for network file systems. Ideally a network file system should be implemented as a URLMount framework plug-in. However, this plug-in architecture is not supported for third party use (and is apparently pretty broken anyway). This is <rdar://problem/3502170>. To make your network file system known to DiskArb, and hence to other apps on the system, like the Finder, you'll have to call DiskArb explicitly. Once you've mounted the volume (using any of the standard techniques, like <x-man-page://2/mount> or <x-man-page://8/mount>), you can get it to appear on the desktop by calling the DiskArbitration routine DiskArbDiskAppearedWithMountpointPing_auto. Unfortunately, this routine isn't part of the standard DiskArbitration framework headers, so you have to declare your own prototype for it. Here's the prototype below: o disk is the device on which the disk is mounted (in the case of a network volume, you pretty much make this up; however, it should mount the f_mntfromname returned by statfs) This routine is part of the old (pre 10.3), private, DiskArbitration framework API. When we introduced a new, public DiskArbitration API in Mac OS X 10.3, we didn't introduce a replacement for this routine because, in the long term, DiskArbitration will automatically pick up mounts by way of a kernel notification. So, ultimately, you won't need to call this routine for your volume to appear on the desktop. For that reason, I strongly recommend that you weak link against this symbol and, if it's not present, just don't call it. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
