I can buy crap online with my credit card, but suddenly I'm too stupid to even bother trying to get to agree about an update? Come on!ĭon't worry, Google still resolves searches, even when you catch their trojan, because that's what you call applications that download undisclosed software without warning, in action.ĭoes it tell you "Ohai, just downloaded 2 gigs of updates, including your new CALEA package"?Īnyway, I'd get on this because DTrace may not work this well by fall. Whatever it is, it is the automatic software updater.Īutomatic updates are IMHO, a terrible idea. Might be in /System/Library, might be in LaunchDaemons. Mount and unmount a volume probably is the software attaching something. I don't have an answer, but I do know how you can get one. Updates for products, Google Chrome updates are quite regularĪh the endless mysteries of HardwareGrowler.A bunch of information about which updates are available and for what apps.I couldn't find, and I'm not aware of any reason it mounts a partition, but it's probably either:

These services allow Google applications to be safely and securely updated.

Google .agent and you'll find a number of explanations of what they've done (and how to get rid of it if you want). I think the Google updater isn't a proces that runs all the time, but a launchd job that runs when you boot and every so often after that. It was a bit of a breadcrumb hunt finding info about it. It's not just for Chrome, but for Google Earth and Picasa too. (I couldn't grab a screenshot of it, it was too sneaky). I'm not a process-killing weenie, I'm just curious about this behavior I'd never noticed before.Īpparently there is a Google Software Update process that is queued to run periodically, which is why it's not always there. Has anyone else noticed this and is the explanation for it posted somewhere online? Apparently there's some helper process that's running that's doing it, but I don't see anything in Activity Monitor with Google or Chrome in the name. I didn't get time for screen shots, it appeared and disappeared within seconds. Some time after this, I spotted out of the corner of my eye a Growl message that said 'Volume Mounted Google 8.0.0 (something)' And just as quickly 'Volume Unmounted Google 8.0.0 (something)'. After amusing myself with this for about 5-10 minutes, I returned to my work. I know, I have a severely deficient view of entertainment. I first discovered this behavior after updating Growl, and I ran HardwareGrowler to see what it did (it was a slow afternoon) and it's kind of neat to see what hardware is connected at any given time, and watching what happens when I plug in various USB peripherals, etc. I'm assuming it's part of the 'check for updates' process, but does anyone know how this is controlled and what it's mounting and unmounting?
