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

Documentation

Documentation can be found on docs.rs.

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.
