Thanks again Matt, Unfortunately, the "should" doesn't happen.
-- Snip [root@localhost]# mount /dev/sda mount: can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [root@localhost]# mount /dev/sda5 mount: special device /dev/sda5 does not exist [root@localhost]# modprobe sd_mod [root@localhost]# mount /dev/sda5 [root@localhost]# ls /mnt/orb... -- Snip As you suggested, the presence of the USB device doesn't force the sd_mod module to load. But, trying to mount /dev/sda5 doesn't either. So there is some link or configuration that I don't quite have right yet to convince that module to load when I try to mount the drive. Unless someone has a suggestion, I'll probably just live with loading it by hand for the time being. Hey, it works which is a major step from where I was a week ago. -Chris On Friday 26 October 2001 03:43 pm, Matthew Dharm wrote: > It will get auto-loaded when you attempt to access the /dev/sdX node -- or > at least it should be auto-loaded when you do that. > > It is _not_ auto-loaded by the presence of the USB device. > > Matt > _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
