It seems disk is not Enumerated completely. Before using /proc/bus/usb, we need to mount the usbdevfs as
mount -t usbdevfs 0 /proc/bus/usb Kernal should be compiled with usbdevfs support. Then cat /proc/bus/usb/devices will give the details of Enumerated devices. Once the Enumeration of the disk is done, Linux recognize it as /dev/hda , or /dev/hdb etc.. We can format it using fdisk /dev/hdx( identify "x" before doing it) mounting can be done using mount -t (Filesystem) /dev/hdx /(mount point eg; /mnt ) Regards, Sreekumar CM Philips Semiconductors, Singapore "J.S.Sahambi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: cc: (bcc: Sreekumar CM/SGP/SC/PHILIPS) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Linux-usb-users] how to use Argosy HD 530 (usb hard disk 10 GB) ceforge.net Classification: 09/05/2002 05:41 PM I have a 10 GB hard disk (Argosy 530).
