Package: usbutils
Version: 0.71+cvs20051029-3
Severity: important
Folks,
I just spent half an hour trying to figure out how to get a USB key to
mount on my amd64 system running the latest unstable.
When I first put in the key, dmesg showed only:
usb 3-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
the key shows up under lsusb, but no mountable device is created.
Perusing previous questions, I see a recommendation to modprobe
usb_storage and sd_mod. Trying that gets me further: reinserting the
key now produces dmesg like so:
usb 3-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 6
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

Looks promising, but trying to mount /dev/sdc produces:
fast:/dev# mount -tvfat /dev/sdc /mnt/key
mount: special device /dev/sdc does not exist
Sure enough,
fast:/dev# ls sdc*
ls: sdc*: No such file or directory
So I try MAKEDEV sdc, which looks like it does the right thing:
fast:/dev# ./MAKEDEV -v sdc
create sdc b 8 32 root:disk 0660
create sdc1 b 8 33 root:disk 0660
create sdc2 b 8 34 root:disk 0660
create sdc3 b 8 35 root:disk 0660
create sdc4 b 8 36 root:disk 0660
create sdc5 b 8 37 root:disk 0660
create sdc6 b 8 38 root:disk 0660
create sdc7 b 8 39 root:disk 0660
create sdc8 b 8 40 root:disk 0660
create sdc9 b 8 41 root:disk 0660
create sdc10 b 8 42 root:disk 0660
create sdc11 b 8 43 root:disk 0660
create sdc12 b 8 44 root:disk 0660
create sdc13 b 8 45 root:disk 0660
create sdc14 b 8 46 root:disk 0660
create sdc15 b 8 47 root:disk 0660
but alas, still no joy.
fast:/dev# ls sdc*
ls: sdc*: No such file or directory
Just for the heck of it, I try find to see if sdc is being created
somewhere else, and it is: in /dev/.static/dev
So I try that, and it does work:
fast:/dev# mount -tvfat /dev/.static/dev/sdc /mnt/key
Surely this can't be the intended method for mounting usb keys....
