With devfs it's easy, just look in /dev/floppy. some problem exists for all sorts of harddisks in the system. How can I detected the available harddisks (not even ide and scsi), there are maybe other disks with third level driveres, or whatever. So looking in /dev/discs/* is very easy. And it contains only "real" harddisks, while /proc/partitions for example also show other available medias. Bye Thorsten -- Thorsten Sauter <tsauter@gmx.net> (Is there life after /sbin/halt -p?)
