drives

A rust library (crate) for listing mounted or mountable drives on linux (flash drives, sd-cards, etc.)

Uses the virtual kernel filesystems (/sys, /proc and /dev) to gather information about the block devices known by the linux kernel. Optionally reads the GUID Partition Table (GPT) to enrich gathered data with informations from the partition table.

Data

• devices
  • name
  • model, serial
  • size
  • partitions
  • is removable
  • uuid (optionally from GPT)
• partition
  • name
  • size
  • mountpoint (path, filesystem)
  • part_uuid (optionally from GPT)

Example

For an simple example see simple_main.rs:

cargo run --example simple_main

Optional Data from GUID Partition Table (GPT)

Currently only the UUID for a device and the PART_UUID of partitions are retreived using the GPT. This needs the feature "gpt" to be enabled.
