 Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2003 9:17 pm Post subject: usb handydrive mount problems |
 |
|
I have a handydrive 64Mb, which I like to get mounted. I emerged hotplug and have
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m
in the kernel (vanilla-sources 2.4.20). When I hotplug the device the log says:
kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1, assigned address 2
kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0xd7d/0x100) is not claimed by any active driver.
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB product d7d/100/100
kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
kernel: Vendor: Apacer Model: HandyDrive Rev: 1.06
kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered.
This makes me believe I have also enabled usb-scsi emulation in the kernel, although I can't find the option in make menuconfig.
Everything looks okay, but I can't find the drive in devfs. It's not in /dev/discs/discX, nor in /dev/sda (this used to be the place I could find it in Redhat).
Any suggestions to what I'm missing here? |

try looking at:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
there should be a symlink for /dev/sda to that
sda1 is /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
etc.

This does not exist. I got /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0
but this dir is empty. I have no part1, so this means also no sda1. Do I need to enter something in /etc/devfsd.conf? |

is it a new disk with no drive layout or filesystems? if so, you wont have a "part1"
sounds like its finding it ok though

No it's not. It has a fat32 filesystem on it so I can trade stuff with my laptop (Win2000). I have mounted it succesfully in the past on Redhat 8 and haven't changed a thing about the filesystem since then.
I also noticed that if I look with the dmesg command I also get a:
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
Could this be a hint to what's wrong? |

I don't think so, I think its more of a "hey, this might mess up your data!" kind of warning.
I dug throught the forums for something similar to this.. it makes sense that it might be devfs related wackyness...

the last reply to that thread might contain what you're looking for

| I've seen this post too. However, in /dev/disks/diskx there is no sign of my usb-disk. I'm getting pretty desparate now. I think I'll try to put a ext2 filesystem on it and see if it gets detected then. |

Found it.
Module scsi_mod and scsi_sd wouldn't get loaded, because of unresolved symbols messages. I read somewhere on the internet that a make mrproper (back up your .config first) would do the trick. A recompile later I can see my disk on /dev/sda1 as well as /dev/scsi/...../lun0/part1 |

Hey, I also had problems with my apacer handydrive. I can confirm this. You need to enable scsi disc support and mass storage .. options into the kernel to have /dev/sda** devices too.
After that make the /mnt/handydrive folder and add this to /etc/fstab to be able to mount /mnt/handydrive:
| Code: | | /dev/sda1 /mnt/handydrive auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 |
I needed to autoload two extra modules I had forgotten: usb-storage and
sd_mod . |
