Simply charging by USB does not count as an active USB connection. You can charge without unmounting the device. With some creative software you could also remove the need to have only one side using the MMC card. Doing that would probably require exporting the card vs NFS instead of as a USB block device. Plugging in the USB cable could automatically trigger loading/unloading the USB networking module and start the in-kernel NFS server. Another way would be to add a simple UI that pops up when an active USB host is connected. It would just ask if you wanted the MMC exported over USB and give you a chance to say no. > > Marius Gedminas > -- > (mental note: stop installing red hat. everytime i do so, it takes ages to fix > my system again.) > -- from the sig of Martin H?gman > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFFwObbkVdEXeem148RAjr5AJ9b0KsF2T0rSvglhpF86r+ytJCnUQCeLBMa > 7DP0ze+x4HHbngI93JKDOQU= > =HuhZ > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > _______________________________________________ > maemo-users mailing list > maemo-users at maemo.org > https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users > > -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl at gmail.com
