I have built up the kernel modules to enable this on my PW3.

I get my drive device created at /dev/sda1

I mount that into /mnt/us/documents/sda1

But it is not triggering a rescan of that folder, as if I had copied it into the filesystem.

I imagine that there could be somethings about this 'fuse' filesystem I don't understand, but that's a naive guess.

I have also tired these lipc commands:

This one the log says triggering partial scan, but nothing happens.

Code:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.scanner triggerUpdate 1

This one says invalid parameter

Code:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.scanner reScanFile /mnt/us/documents/sda1

Even if I did get this working, I imagine the kindle would not be terribly happy with having the folder plugged in and unplugged etc. ( If would re-index when you plugged it in every time? and then delete the caches when removed? )

I have not yet tested what happens to the mount point if it goes to sleep, or if having the usb plugged in prevents suspend mode.
