mnttool: notice on failed umount, sync w/ cli umount?

<< < (3/3)

nitram:
Couple other observations, the  [ -f /bin/ntfs-3g ] addition for Ubuntu-based dCores would be welcome too:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/i386/ntfs-3g/filelist

My bad regarding TC6, NTFS does mount read/write with mnttool when ntfs-3g loaded. It does not, however, umount with mnttool until i close both the terminal and MFMR, even though the NTFS partition was no longer the working directory. Maybe a terminal or file manager issue, unsure. In this situation a yellow flashing button or simillar may be useful when umount attempt fails, so at least the user knows it's not a mouse clicker issue and they can investigate further.

If you back out of the mounted directory prior to closing MFMR does umount succeed then? If MFMR actually changes the
current working directory and then exits to a terminal the directory might still be in use.

Two colors seems pretty clear to me. Green means it's mounted, red means it's not. If it stays red, mount failed. If it stays
green, umount failed. As far as the "mouse clicker" is concerned, the mount button gives visual feedback. Place the mouse
pointer over a mount button and press the mouse button. The mount button will change from colored to gray. Release the
mouse button and the mount button changes from gray to colored.

curaga:
That's a dCore-specific path, so that change is better applied just to dCore scripts then.

jls:
why use the full path?

nitram:
Thanks, never noticed the change to grey when click-happy, good enough.
This would be robust for any future path changes, TC and dCore, even piCore:

--- Code: ---if [ `which ntfs-3g`=="TRUE" ]; then

--- End code ---
