How to get list of currently connected ShareFS drives?

Hello,

Me needs to get the list of currently connected ShareFS drives. How to do it?

I tried to canonicalize ShareFS::0.$, … ShareFS::7.$ drives with “OS_FScontrol 37 Canonicalise path” as advised by David J. Ruck in this post https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/11/topics/16818 but RiscOS display a message “Please insert or make avaliable shared disc ‘0’”

In general me needs to get a list of all currently connected drives but I not found a good way how to get them. Currently I used workaround and try to canonicalize all drives using hardcoded FS list

My code look like this:

static char *fsnames_with_drives[] = { “ADFS”, “SCSIFS”, “SCSI”, “CDFS”, “IDEFS”, “IDE”, “RAM”, “SDFS”, “SATAFS”, “SATA”, “DOSFS”, “DOS”, “FAT32FS”, “FAT32”, nullptr };

for(i = 0; fsnames_with_drives[i] != nullptr; i++) {

    err = xosfscontrol_lookup_fs((osfscontrol_id)fsnames_with_drives[i], false,

                                 &fs_no, &fs_found);

    if (err) {

        Logger::error(“Error FS lookup [%s] %d:%s”, fsnames_with_drives[i], err→errnum, err→errmess);

        continue;

    }

    if (fs_found) {

        for(d = 0; d < 8; d++) {

            sprintf(drive,“%s::%d.$”, fsnames_with_drives[i], d);

            err = xosfscontrol_canonicalise_path(drive, canonical_drive, 0, 0, sizeof(canonical_drive) – 1, &spare);

            if (!err) {

                Logger::debug(“canonicalize drive [%s] [%s]”, drive, canonical_drive);

                if (stricmp(drive, canonical_drive) != 0) { 

                    // root drive found! Add it to found drives list

                }

            } else {

                Logger::error(“Error canonicalize drive [%s] %d:%s”, drive, err→errnum, err→errmess);

            }

        }

    }

}

Have you tried looking at Freeway? http://www.riscos.com/support/developers/freeway/index.html
This provides the underlying information about what drives are available (and where they are held) – see SWI Freeway_Enumerate, for example. If you are only interested in local drives that have been shared, then look for type 1 objects and check the returned IP address.

For a simple solution you might try enumerating files of type &BDA (Disc) in the Resources:$.Discs directory. This includes unmounted drives.
