What are the approaches to finding what external USB disks are currently connected? I'm starting on backup scripts, and I need to check which volumes are present before I figure out what to back up to them. I suppose I could just try all the ones that I know about and see which are there (the list is small enough this is actually feasible), but it's inelegant. (On Solaris "Nevada", currently build 76 I think).
The external USB backup disks in question have ZFS filesystems on them, which may make a difference in finding them perhaps? I've glanced at Tim Foster's autobackup and related scripts, and they're all about being triggered by the plug connection being made; which is not what I need. I don't actually want to start the big backup when I plug in (or power on) the drive in the evening, it's supposed to wait until late (to avoid competition with users). (His autosnapshot script may be just what I need for that part, though.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, [EMAIL PROTECTED]; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
