A simple script for mounting cdrom disc automatically when insert disc

# A simple script for mounting cdrom disc automatically when insert disc.
# It poll cdrom every 2 seconds just like "HAL" and "Udisks" do.
# But it can't take advantage of newer SATA ATAPI hardware which
# supports Asynchronous Notification(AN), see: "man hal-disable-polling".
# Usage: copy it as "/usr/local/bin/amountcd.sh", and
# "chmod +x /usr/local/bin/amountcd.sh", add it into "/opt/bootlocal.sh"
# or some where else, for example: "/usr/local/bin/amountcd.sh &"
# I have tested it on tinycore-3.7.1 and tinycore-4.1 ok.

Todo: It can't detect audio CD inserting and mount it with "-t cdfs", any idea?

Hi littlebat

It can't detect audio CD inserting and mount it with "-t cdfs", any idea?

Code: [Select]

/bin/dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cdpresent count=1If there is no disc in the drive, no file is created.
If there is an audio disc in the drive, an empty file is created.
If there is a data disc in the drive, a 512 byte file is created.
Or you can set of=/dev/null and parse the output of /bin/dd.

Try 'blkid /dev/sr0'

Hi gerald_clark
He is also trying to detect if the disc is an audio CD. I tried that command and it doesn't return
anything for an audio CD.

[gerald_clark]

You can't mount audio CDs, and I am not aware of any CDfs for core.

Hi gerald_clark
Quite correct. I was just offering a possible solution to detecting an audio CD, which he ask about.
In order for him to make use of it, he will of course need to create a  cdfs  extension.

@littlebat: Although I have not tried it, my solution will probably flag a blank disc as being an audio CD.
