No volumes in Linux?

[MisterX]

would this do it then?

function GetLinuxvolumes includeUSB
  put includeUSB is true into includeUSB 
  put url "File:/etc/mtab" into vlist
  if includeUSB then 
    put vlist into usblist
    filter usblist with "*usb*"
  end if
  filter vlist with "*hda*"
  if includeUSB then put CR & usblist after vlist
  repeat for each line l in vlist
    get word 2 of l
    if it is not empty then put it & cr after drivelist
  end repeat
  delete last char of drivelist
  return drivelist
end GetLinuxvolumes

cheers
