Re: Need to write app for usb storage

["Chuck G. Smith" <cgasmith comcast net>]

simple, any programming language you want just shell out and cat 
/proc/partitions and when it changes state, something has been inserted, 
make sure you stat for the files or directories when you  attempt to 
copy.  If this is greek to you., then perhaps you should consider a book 
or two on say python and python cookbook.
