Are you saying that you don't have (for example) a /dev/sda1 device to mount? It's something I ran into, so here's a quick way to create those devices: 'cat /proc/partitions' to get a list of the partitions available. You'll get a list with the major and minor device numbers, number of blocks and the device name (followed by a lot of additional info that you don't need). If you don't have an entry for the device in /dev, you can create it with mknod: For example: mknod /dev/sda b 8 0 mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 Format is 'mknod <device> b <major> <minor>'. Whenever you attach a USB device, you should see a kernel message indicating what scsi device it was mapped to. I think you can also find the information in /proc/scsi/scsi. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Two, two, TWO treats in one. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
