So the said medium remains blank from hal's point of view unless you reload it manually. Now, I saw there were two functions to do that from an app (libhal_device_reprobe () and libhal_device_rescan ()). But it does not work because the application is not running as privileged from what I understood. So my question is there a way to make hal aware of the change in the medium status? Or do I use the above two functions in the wrong way? Regards, Philippe. </BODY> </HTML>
