I have an embedded machine that is running g_file_storage. I would like to be able to access the backing store in read only mode from the machine while g_file_storage is running and a host machine is dropping files into this backing store.
Any idea how one can achieve that? I know that it is not advisable, but would like to try it anyway, and I simply need read access. Won’t need to modify the backing store while it is connected
Was able to achieve this by creating a script that listens to specific events in dmesg that signals that a user has dropped a file on the USB. When that is done we unmount the drive, mount it as a drive on the machine , grab the file dropped by the user then remount the drive as a mass storage device
