Mac Disks

This plugin uses shell commands (diskutil and df) to determine if volumes are mounted on the machine running Indigo Server and obtain some statistics about them. Volumes may be mounted or unmounted by turning the associated Indigo device on or off.

Plugin Configuration

• Update Frequency
  How often to check whether disks have been mounted or unmounted.

• Touch Disk Frequency
  For disks that have been configured to prevent sleep, this determines how often to touch a hidden file.

• Reset Identifier Frequency
  For Local Disks, the logical attchment point (e.g. disk1s2) can occaisionally change between mounts. This setting determines how often to confirm/reset the prior value.

• Enable Debugging
  If checked, extensive debug information will be written to the log.
