For a314fs, make it possible to remove a volume from a device (i.e. PI0:) and later insert volume again.

As the title says. Moreover, it could be nice to support multiple devices (PI0:, PI1:, ...) and be able to decide, through a config file on the RPi, what volume should go in each. The contents of a volume should be mapped to some directory on the RPi.

This would be excellent for removable storage, such as usb used on the pi side.

This is easy enough via soft links. For example. in your pi0: directory on the Pi, just create a softlink to the /dev/usb... device and then if you put in or take out a usb flash drive, the pi will handle the mounting and unmounting for you. So suddenly you have usb access for the workbench. I do this with Amibian. Basically look into softlinks and manage then with a quick menu script.

Hi @alexchaney . That sounds like a useful suggestion.

What I had in mind is for a314fs to work like a floppy disk drive, so that if you "eject" the volume then the disk icon will be removed from the Workbench, and when you insert a volume then the icon will come back. So it's a different use case I guess.
