Hello,
I'd like to know if there is a way to get this properties(like the image below) of a USB thumb drive from a mount point(/Volumes/mydrive) in a generic kernel extension? Thanks!

I decide to check the volume type in user space.
Wise choice!
Could you please take a look at my code. Is it correct?
You can do this more easily by calling
statfsf_mntfromnameDADiskCreateFromBSDNameAlso, it’s a lot easier to wrangle dictionaries from Objective-C (or Objective-C++, if you’re so inclined). For example:
struct statfs stfs;
int err = statfs("/", &stfs);
… check error …
if ( !(stfs.f_flags & MNT_LOCAL) ) {
… bail out …
}
DASessionRef session = DASessionCreate(NULL);
CFAutorelease(session);
DADiskRef disk = DADiskCreateFromBSDName(NULL, session, stfs.f_mntfromname);
CFAutorelease(disk);
NSDictionary * diskInfo = CFBridgingRelease( DADiskCopyDescription(disk) );
BOOL isRemovable = [diskInfo[(__bridge NSString *) kDADiskDescriptionMediaRemovableKey] boolValue];
NSLog(@"removable: %@", isRemovable ? @"YES" : @"NO");Share and Enjoy

let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@apple.com"I just wonder if there is a specific background daemon, which is responsible for burning files in the
folder to DVD drive. If so, what’s its name?.fpbf
I don’t know but, even if I did, special casing a daemon by its name is a really bad idea from a binary compatibility perspective. Apple renames stuff like that all the time.
