That's right; I wrote that warning. Your next question is so badly phrased that I can't understand it, let alone answer it: > Is there any other manual method Other than what? > by which we can tell > the user The user of which system: the host or the gadget? > to use either the private disk or connect it > to USB host and do read/writes to the private disk? Ungrammatical and nonsensical. The only "private disk" in this discussion is the one seen by the host, so it's meaningless to talk about connecting it. > Is there a way by which this mutual exclusion be > implemented in the Linux kernel? If you mean the mutual exclusion recommended in file_storage.html above, the answer is No. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
