Hi all,
I am using an Embedded SOM and application is running on GTK+. In my app, I need to show pendrive and memory card icons based on their existence. That is if sd card is inserted, the logo should be shown in my app and vice versa if removed in between.I have did this by using statfs() for every 5 seconds in C as I found that the pendrive is always mounted as /media/sda1 and memory card is always mounted as /media/mmcblk1p1. But this logic does not work perfectly some times and shows the icons wrongly. Is my way correct ? If not kindly guide me how to detect pendrive and memory card existence programmatically in polling method.

Thanks and regards,
Nishanth Kumar

You could look at libudev. Here's and example: https://gavv.github.io/articles/libudev-usb/

Hi SoftSprocket,
Thank you very much for you reply. Now I can list the pendrives and memory card properly. But when I insert a pendrive first time, It is mounting as /dev/sda1 and after some read and write into the directory /dev/sda1, then when removed and mount again, the pendrive is mounted as /dev/sdb1. As the directory changes, I am not able code the directory in my C Code. How to mount the pendrive always under /dev/sda1?

Thank you very much for your time.

Regards,
Nishanth

Have a look at this: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-point-511917/

I know that some file managers use UDisks for this.
