The second device you plug in will probably show up as /dev/sdb1 (but I haven't used that.)
you may also want to check out using devfsd if you have a recent enough kernel. devfsd dynamically adds and removes devices from the /dev hierarchy. and the naming has become more Solaris.... /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 and so on. So your two devices, when plugged in, should generate unique entries under the /dev/scsi hierarchy. but again my only hot pluggable device is a cd burner. I have never tried to plug another device in at the same time. But I'ld be pretty frustrated if it didn't work the way I expect. (I'm frustrated a lot of the time ;-) - Jeff On Sun, 2003-07-20 at 18:19, matt zagrabelny wrote: > hi, > > i have two usb removable mass storage devices (camera and vorbis player) > that are both setup in /etc/fstab to use /dev/sda1 as the device. what > should i do if i want both to be plugged in and mounted at the same > time? > > obviously if i only want to use one at a time, then i can leave the > devices alone, /dev/sda1 will always work for that situation. how have > others worked around this? > > i have tried mounting the second one (after the other is mounted to > /dev/sda1) to /dev/sdb1 but that came up with errors. i have poked > around /proc/scsi/ but dont know what to look for. dmesg also seemed to > be a waste of time. > > thanks for the help. > > -matt zagrabelny > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
