OS: SuSE 7.1 w/kernel 2.4.0 Hardware: VST CD-R/W portable USB drive http://www.vsttech.com/ With Freecom support included in usb-storage, itcan be mounted briefly as a cdrom. I can read directories and small files. But on larger files, the command reading the drive (less, cp, etc.) becomes an unkillable daemon in a race condition that can eventually choke the system. cdrdao can read disk-info, but hangs in read-toc. Likewise, attempting a dummy write with cdrdao simulate or cdrecord -dummy prepares to write, fills the buffer, and then locks up (either /dev/sg# or bus,id,lun). When I set up usbmgr to automatically hot plug the modules, /var/log/messages listed these: usbmgr[276]: "scsi_mod" was loaded usbmgr[276]: "sr_mod" was loaded usbmgr[276]: "sg" was loaded usbmgr[276]: "usb-storage" was loaded usbmgr[276]: "5ms" was loaded What is "5ms" and am I missing it? System: Sony PCG-F450 PIII 500, 192 MB RAM Bus 0, device 7, function 2: USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 USB (rev 1). Wasn't sure if I should use usb-uhci or uhci, but either does the same. lsusb ID: 07ab:fc01 Memorex BBQ Series 100 CD-R/RW /proc/scsi/scsi (scsi0 is scsi emulation of built-in dvd): Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-C2202 Rev: 1021 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: Model: CD-R/RW RW8040A Rev: 1.13 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1: Host scsi1: usb-storage Vendor: Freecom Product: USB-IDE Serial Number: None Protocol: QIC-157 Transport: Freecom GUID: 07abfc010000000000000000 More complete details are at http://www.de-srv.com/linux/vst-cd.html including usb-storage debug logs.
