Ahmed, I'm not aware of an agreed-upon solution to your problem but, fortunately, there are many ways to approach your request. How important is portability to you? Anyway, here are two thoughts: a) You might consider wrapping the appropriate syscalls or libc functions with ctypes, e.g. http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/mstone/security;a=blob;f=rainbow/rainbow/util.py;hb=cli (MIT-licensed; very non-portable, but effective where it works) Beware that calling sys_mount directly through glibc's mount will not update /etc/mtab. This means that the 'mounted filesystems list' listed by the 'mount' executable will not coincide with the contents of /proc/mounts. Also beware of people who use Linux's mount-point namespaces via unshare() or clone() w/ the CLONE_NEWNS flag. (Naturally, other mechanisms for wrapping C functions into Python will permit you to achieve similar ends.) b) Talk to some system service or executable that already knows how to deal with mounting; e.g. the 'mount' binary via subprocess or HAL over D-Bus. Regards, Michael P.S. - If you do find a standard way to accomplish this, please speak up. I certainly could use one. :) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
