Multiple USB cards mounted by Trident
« on: April 28, 2011, 03:15:35 AM »
I have purchased (another story to tell, actually) a USB card reader to fit into a 3.5" bay in my 4000D.  This is, in turn, connected to a Deneb USB card.  Fantastic setup.

The problem I have is if I insert a CF card, or any other card for that matter, it mounts on UMSD:.  Remove that card then insert another card with the same filesystem (fat95) and a new device UMSD.0: is mounted along with a duplicate icon on the desktop.  Remove that card and insert another, you get a new device UMSD.1: and triplicate icons.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

I have set in the LUN settings of the mass storage device to unmount the partition upon removal, but this behavior continues.

Anybody have a way around this?

AmigaDOS does not allow to unmount file systems. An already mounted partition can only be reused if the new partition has exactly the same size and geometry. All other partitions will be mounted as .0, .1 etc.

However, if you remove the card from the reader, the volume icon should disappear from Workbench. It only stays if some files or directories on that partition are still opened.

That's similar to DF0 and the floppy disk icon. DF0 stays in the system all the time, but the floppy disk icon disappears if you remove the disk. It stays however, if there are still files or directories opened on the disk.

The simplest way I solve this with my SD cards and SubWayUSB with a multi card reader is to create a new Mountlist in Storage;DOSdrivers/ called SDC (Short for SD Card)... :)

Then in Trident on the masstorage page click on the LUN Settings Tab and change DOSName to SDC

Now when you insert different SD cards instead of UMSD.1: etc.. coming up you'll get SDC: and the name of the card for example "My Pictures" or the usual  pre allocated name/number, for  example "1764_0891" if you haven't renamed the card... :)

Much better than having UMSD.0: etc... popping up all the time...;)

The same would apply to your CF cards just create a mountlist called CFC for example... :)
