How to detect whether the file system is available

Hi,

I have a USB driver which needs to open a file when the system boots up. But
I don’t know if the file system is available when my USB gets loaded and
trys to open a file. Could anybody tell me how to detect whether the file
system is available?

Thanks in advance,

Haibo

Hi Haibo,

If you mean you want to know if the ‘file system
driver’ is loaded, you could try opening the file
system driver virtual device (provided you know what
it is going to be).
