No problem, I'm was kind of foggy on the details.
Looking over the g_file_storage driver, it appears that I setup the dummy_hdc driver to process my device. So, that is how I am able to see the 'mass storage' device on the local machine. Here is a snippet from /var/log/messages. I have changed the backing store to be a seperate disk, i.e. hdd1. dummy_hcd hc0: USB Host+Gadget Emulator, driver 14 Mar 2004 dummy_hcd hc0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 6 hub 6-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 6-0:1.0: 1 port detected dummy_hcd hc0: binding gadget driver 'g_file_storage' g_file_storage udc: File-backed Storage Gadget, version: 28 July 2004 g_file_storage udc: Number of LUNs=1 g_file_storage udc-lun0: ro=0, file: /dev/hdd1 dummy_hcd hc0: port status 0x00010101 has changes usb 6-1: new high speed USB device using address 2 dummy_hcd hc0: set_address = 2 dummy_hcd hc0: enabled ep-a (ep1in-bulk) maxpacket 512 dummy_hcd hc0: enabled ep-b (ep2out-bulk) maxpacket 512 g_file_storage udc: high speed config #1 dummy_hcd hc0: port status 0x00040503 has changes dummy_hcd hc0: port status 0x00040503 has changes Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: Linux Model: File-Stor Gadget Rev: 0302 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sda: 586067202 512-byte hdwr sectors (300066 MB) sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: Attached scsi disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 2 usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. > > > Now I want to turn one Linux PC into a Mass Storage device.

I think that it is a serial transfer 'thingy', i.e. the Prolific cable. It seems to be handled by a different driver now that I look at: Jan 30 16:13:58 custserver kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Jan 30 16:13:58 custserver kernel: usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jan 30 16:13:58 custserver kernel: usb0: register 'plusb' at usb-0000:00:1d.3-1, Prolific PL-2301/PL-2302, d6:79:87:03:67:5e Jan 30 16:13:58 custserver kernel: usbcore: registered new driver plusb Would this cable even work to interconnect two PC's for the purposes of seeing the mass storage device? > > > Whenever I modprobe g_file_storage, the PC that I wish to be the mass > > storage box sees the 'new' device and set's up SDA locally to that > > machine. > > > > However, I can't seem to see the Mass Storage device from the other PC. > > > > Any ideas? > > Not until I understand what you've done more fully. Basically, I followed the g_file_storage how to that was on the linux-usb web site. Now I am attempting to extend that howto into mounting the g_file_storage mass storage device from another PC via a USB cable. So...Is this even possible with the ICH5 USB controller?
