Hi, Is this still an open question, or did Tim's (or Tom's ?) email help you out on this?
I tested more at home last night, where I have a better variety of USB storage devices, including CD-RW, hard disk, floppy, & CF reader. These all work for me on Linux 2.4.18. And you read the USB Guide for storage devices, right? at http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x498.html It tells you what kernel CONFIG options should be used for USB storage. This is where I got a clue for how to mount my CD-R/RW drive, when I had trouble mounting it. It says to use /dev/scd0 as the device name to mount. (Note: the '0' may change, depending on other devices in your particular system config.) This 'mount' is what worked for me for a USB CD-R/RW drive: [root@midway mnt]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd1 /mnt/disk For other USB storage media types (not CD-R), device names are usually /dev/sdXn, with 'n' being optional, depending on whether the device has partitions, and 'X' being a drive instance. Here is the 'mount' command output from my USB CD-drive mounted, and then my USB hard drive mounted at the same mount point (not simultaneously ;) : /dev/scd1 on /mnt/disk type iso9660 (ro) /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/disk type vfat (rw) (more below) On Wed, 10 Jul 2002, Peter B Van Campen wrote: | Here are the msgs from /var/log/messages: | | Jul 10 13:14:55 linux kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, | assigned device number 5 | Jul 10 13:14:55 linux kernel: WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not | assured | Jul 10 13:14:55 linux kernel: USB Mass Storage device found at 5 | Jul 10 13:14:55 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-11 | Jul 10 13:14:56 linux last message repeated 15 times | Jul 10 13:14:56 linux /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[5030]: Can't ignore signal CHLD, | forcing to default.
