usb-drive

Is there any way to determine s/n of usb-drive in linux using C++ ? If not C++ is there any other way different from hwinfo -disk and hdparm -i ? clyfe I'll try to summarize my experience regarding storage drive serial number retrieval on linux. I assume you want the serial number of the storage device identity (as per SCSI specification) not the serial number of the USB device (as per USB specification under Device Descriptor ), these two are different entities. NOTICE! Most devices tend to implement a serial number in the USB-Controller and leave the serial number of the inner SCSI-disk

Is there a way to read USB device serial number and data in a text file in USB using visual studio 2005? Try this: USBSerialNumber usb = new USBSerialNumber(); string serial = usb.getSerialNumberFromDriveLetter("f:\"); MessageBox.Show(serial); Here's the internals for the USBSerialNumber class: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Management; namespace USBDriveSerialNumber { public class USBSerialNumber { string _serialNumber; string _driveLetter; public string getSerialNumberFromDriveLetter(string driveLetter) { this._driveLetter = driveLetter

I've just bought a new 4GB USB thumb drive and I'm trying to decide what to put on it. I'm thinking about one of the webserver on a stick packages, a C/C++ IDE (leaning toward Code::Blocks; had Dev-C++ on my old USB drive) and Python. What development related tools do you carry around with you on yours? Update I've added categories. IDEs Code::Blocks Open source, cross platform C/C++ IDE Supports several compilers (that you must supply) but you can also download a version that includes MingW. (There's a FAQ question on their website explaining how to make it portable) Codelite -- Open-source,

Using an arbitrary Windows machine (2000/XP or later), I can install Eclipse CDT to a USB drive move that USB drive onto a different Windows machine--one that does not have any form of Eclipse software already installed, and potentially a different version of Windows (but 2000/XP or later) use Eclipse to develop application-level C/C++ programs on that second machine (and that includes using the debugger), running directly from the USB drive without copying anything to C:. I can do all this without having Administrator privileges on either machine. I can do the same with NetBeans, and with

For my school work, I do a lot of switching computers (from labs to my laptop to the library). I'd kind of like to put this code under some kind of version control. Of course the problem is that I can't always install additional software on the computers I use. Is there any kind of version control system that I can keep on a thumb drive? I have a 2GB drive to put this on, but I can get a bigger one if necessary. The projects I'm doing aren't especially big FYI. EDIT: This needs to work under windows. EDIT II: Bazaar ended up being what I chose. It's even better if you go with TortoiseBzr. You
