Hi zigbert,
Thanks for the volume labels makes my messing about easier.
observasions;
out of six linux partions. Partions 1 and 3 don't show any volume label.
None of my NTFS partions show any volume labels.
but neither does MUT.
Only Gparted shows the NTFS volume labels.
Had a quick google and found
ntfslabel ( # ntfslabel /dev/hda1 - returns 'XP Win' correctly)
at http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsprogs.8.html

Will you please test if ntfslabel works. Replace the file /usr/local/pdrive/func_probe.
Have you any idea how to read label of vfat partitions

Hello zigbert,
I'm running esmourguit's Toutou 217+X, full install, (puppy in french)
My single Hda has 4 partitions-> 1=ntfs, 2=ntfs, 3=ext3 (puppy), 4=swap
Just a quick note on Pdrive 0.13 with your modified func_probe
It displays my 2 win-2K ntfs volume labels correctly.
without modified func_probe -> no volume labels.
But it will NOT let me mount the win-2k ntfs partitions ->
Error -> FAILURE!.. case of removable media not plugged in correctly...
but they are 2 x win-2K ntfs partitions on the single HD..
BarryK's Pmount will let me mount them..
When you click on Pdrive's -> more info, (suggestion ->detailed view/details)
how do you get back to (simple view) ? (like a toggle switch)
hope this helps, and keep up the good work, nicer Gui than Pmount, and more user friendly.
I'm helping esmourguit with partial puppy translations, ver 217.1 into french.
any special lines to stay clear of, NOT to translate ?

Good news.it displays my 2 win-2K ntfs volume labels correctly.
Now I have messed it up againBarryK's Pmount will let me mount them..
Please try the to replace /usr/local/pdrive/func_mount with attached file.
I do not got any ntfs drives, or much of other drives.
Because of my lack of skills and hardware it's important to stay close to the code of Pmount.
There's no such option. (at the moment).how do you get back to (simple view) ? (like a toggle switch)
Not that come to my mind right here.any special lines to stay clear of, NOT to translate ?
When Pdrive is more final, there will be language support.

Hi zigbert,
Testing pdrive 0.13 with new 'func_probe' with Puppy 3.00 harddrive install.
comparing to GParted volume labels
all GParted volume labels correct except hda10 vfat.
hda1 ntfs - nothing (primary partition)
hda5 ntfs - correct label
hda6 ntfs - nothing but the drive is mounted
hda7 ntfs - correct label
hda8 ntfs - correct label
hda9 ntfs - correct label
hda10 vfat - nothing in Gparted either
hda11 ntfs - correct label
hda12 ext2 - correct label
hda13 ext2 - nothing but this has my grub on it
hda 14 ext2 - correct label
hda 15 ext2 - correct label
hda 16 ext2 - correct label
sda1 ntfs - nothing (primary partition)
sda5 ntfs - correct label
sda6 ntfs - correct label
sda7 ntfs - correct label
sda8 ntfs - correct label
sda9 ntfs - correct label
sda10 ntfs - correct label
sda11 ext2 - correct label
sda12 ext2 - correct label
sda13 ext2 - correct label
sda14 ext2 - no label allocated
sda15 ext2 - correct label
will play with vfat later

zigbert,
Trying out the automount feature of Pdrive. After inserting my USB key rox opens but the file names are only 8 character for instance - ndiswr~1.tgz - If I unmount and remount with Pdrive the names show up right - ndiswrapper-1.47_2.6.21.5_smp-i686-1McD.tgz
Also I have also noticed that my first partition does not show up. This is also a problem with Pmount. It is a 100meg ext3 partition. MUT sees and mounts it fine. If I recall, one of the early versions of Pdrive did see and mount this one, but unfortunately I do not recall which. If you could point me to the early versions I would be willing to test.

That is exactly the naming messup iI experienced....
anyway here is pdrive .16 as an appdir that you can drag to the desktop and it will worklike an Icon
If you click on the folder it runs rather elegant IMO and if you want to look inside there is a right click menu option basically I just added an icon with a P on it (could be improved)
also there is a right click option to run pdrive that is set in the AppInfo.xml file you can add more options like mount all drives or whatever we can think up
The Script that actaully turns it into an Appdir is AppRun and the folder icon is defined by a hidden link .DirIcon
well all I can say right now is that I think I like AppDirs especially considering that grafburn and the Trashbin are appdirs maybe I could convert some other stuff too...
Just found out that an appdir does not run from the commandline but i have changed essentially nothing about the folder layout or other scripts so if you just overwrite the pdrive folder it still works the same execpts it is also an appdir

The detection of disks and partitions are done with 2 small puppy apps - 'probedisk' and 'probepart'. Do these detect it correct? if not, please make attention to Barry or Dougal. Either by a new thread or a pm.
cb88
I'll consider it.....
But shouldn't there also been a natrual way to find this dir - /usr/local/apps. And then, Puppy should have a strict way of organize these apps. Has Barry said anything about this or that.

I have no idea sigmund I was just experimenting with appdirs and your scripts were as good a target as any
although it does seem that all the app dirs are in /usr/local/apps
in any case I was just messing around and these are your scripts so do as you see fit!

zigbert,
Pdrive 0.8 was the one that saw the partition, but clicking on the hda1 entry or any other kills the program. Pmount does see (my mistake earlier) this partition as having a size of ".G", but when trying to mount it this message pops up...
FAILURE! In the case of removable media, the most
common reason is the media is not currently inserted.
Or, you forgot to unmount the previously inserted media.
If so, please remedy.
On the plus side Pdrive 0.17 fixed the long file name issue with the USB key. Thank you.
