Revision history for AutomaticDiskDriveMountOnFolderAccess
Additions:
This script is switching the power of an external hard drive on demand and is mounting the drive automatically. It's also unmounting the drive if not accessed any more and is switching the power off.
I use a radio controlled plug to switch a USB hard drive on and off. To control the hard drive the script is sending a command to [[http://homienaut.com Hominaut]], but you can also use any other solution based on FHEM or other home automation system.
Lets explain the script in few steps
1) I use 'lsof -d /media/usb_drive' to detect if some process is accessing the folder /media/usb_drive. Usually lsof returns nothing.
1) If I access this folder in any way (e.g samba, http, owncloud) then the script is sending a command to Hominaut.
1) Hominaut is sending a radio signal to the plug. The Plug gives power to the hard drive is starting up.
1) The script is mounting the hard drive. It tries again, if something goes wrong.
1) The volume is mounted within seconds after access.
1) When I leave the folder /media/usb_drive then the script tries to unmount the drive. It tries again and again.
1) When umount was successful, then the scripts sends a request to Homienaut to swicth off the hard drive.
