Mounting a partition from a block device

var BlockDevice = require( 'blockdevice' )
var Disk = require( 'disk' )
var FAT = require( 'fat32' )

var device = new BlockDevice({
  path: '/dev/rdisk2', // or i.e. '\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive2' on Windows
})

var disk = new Disk( device )
var volume = new FAT.Volume()

disk.open(( error ) => {

  // For purposes of demonstration, error handling will
  // not be tended to in this example, but should of course
  // be implemented in real-world use cases
  if( error ) return handleError( error )

  // Find a FAT formatted partition
  var partNo = disk.mbr.partitions.findIndex(( partition ) => {
    return partition.type === 0x0B || partition.type === 0x0C
  })

  // Mount the partition (with a BlockDevice API)
  volume.mount( disk.partitions[ partNo ], null, ( error ) => {
    console.log( util.inspect( volume ) )
    // ...
    volume.unmount(( error ) => {
      disk.close(( error ) => {
        // ...
      })
    })
  })
