Product: devfsd
Component: devfsd
Summary: devfsd has to be stopped to be able to use
PCMCIA/compact flash card
Version: 1.3.25-23mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When I put a PCMCIA/compact flash adaptator, with a compact flash
card into it in my laptop (IBM Thinkpad 560Z), devfsd does the right
symbolic links (I do not have a cdrom, so that hdc is taken for
the compact flash card):
/dev/hdc -> ide/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
/dev/hdc1 -> ide/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
But then, nothing happens if I try to access /dev/hdc1, for example
mount -t msdos /dev/hdc1 /mnt/photo/ does nothing and gives no prompt.
Once devfsd is manually stopped (service devfsd stop),
/dev/hdc and /dev/hdc1 still point to the right
things and the previous mount command works.
Then you need to umount /dev/hdc1 and to restart devfsd.
This is a bug and you should be able to let work
the 'mount' command without stopping devfsd.
The same bug existed with the devfsd version coming with LM9.0
There is no particular message in the /var/log/messages about this problem
