[PATCH] Mount storage by UUID / Label

[futeko.com]

 This topic replaces the original (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1398.0) so opening post can always contain latest version and instructions.

Big thanks to qqq1971 and pcristi. It's all their work.

Compatible with all Android 5.1 and Android 7.0 firmwares.

This patch creates persistent mount locations according to UUID and drive label for attached local storage (internal SATA and USB). This location will stay the same on every boot, eliminating the problem where Q5/Q10 Pro can be inconsistent in where it mounts storage (sda1, sda2, sda3 etc) when multiple USB HDDs are attached.

Mount path:

/mnt/media_rw/disk-by-uuid/<uuid>
/mnt/media_rw/disk-by-label/<label>
/sdcard/media_rw/disk-by-uuid/<uuid>

Restrictions

* Only first 4 mounted disks will be linked
* For disk with multiple partions only first partition will be linked.
* If disks has identical labels only first disk will be linked.
* Wait about 2 min after boot. Master init script has delay before my script will be run.
* Be careful with deleting files from /sdcard/media_rw/ --> can lose your /video/movie/music/picture/etc...

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Porting my question over here - can this be evolved to bring back the DVD/BD-ROM support functionality we had with android 5 ?

Thank you !

I'm sure with little script correction. But i don't have external rom drive to check it.

General idia is include into list of discs  (sd*) list of rom drives - sr* and just mount it like discs. Additionaly check that sr* has UDF fs.

Code: [Select]

~> sudo blkid | grep sr
root's password:
/dev/sr0: UUID="48CB99C400A2640E" LABEL="BERLIOZ" TYPE="udf"

Box supports udf:

Code: [Select]

~> adb shell cat /proc/filesystems | grep udf
        udf

I have not understanding how to solve the problem of mounting discs with the andrioid version 7
the procedure will run throughout the player or you have to use a PC.
how do I communicate HIMEDIA q5 Pro with a PC and use the command prompt

Both the Q5 Pro and a Windows PC need to be on the same network.

You access Command Prompt on the Windows PC, navigate to the directory where the script is located and type 'RUN_ME'.

The script will ask you to input the IP address of the Q5 Pro. You can find this by, on Q5 Pro, going Home - Settings. IP address is shown with the Network icon.

I am very angry . I do not have windows pc
but apple mac pc ...... and also the procedure is the same hard for me.
how can I do? in the next firmware you can perhaps that the discs are read without making the process RUN_ME.bat ?

[pcristi]

Next official Android 7.0 f/w will support at least UUID mount point --> /mnt/media_rw/<uuid>.
