USB Drive - dave.bolas@se.com - 25.01.2023
Hi, is there any way of programmatically reading the status of a USB drive ie, is it healthy and read to write?
I had a corrupted drive and no obvious way of knowing until things stopped working.
Thanks
Dave

There's no way of knowing if the USB drive is fully operational or not. You can only check if it is mounted or not:
Code:
mounted = io.readfile('/proc/mounts'):match('/dev/sd') ~= nil
log(mounted)
