Okay Guys, I hope I am doing something wrong and this is not a problem
with kernel 2.6.
I cannot mount my USB Floppy under linux. 

I am running kernel 2.6.9 on Gentoo.

Let me give some information away:
if I connect my USB Floppy, this is what I am going to see on dmesg:

# dmesg | tail

---
usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using address 10
scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: Y-E DATA  Model: USB-FDU           Rev: 5.01
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi9, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 0
USB Mass Storage device found at 10
---

Cool, it can find my USB Floppy. Everytime I disconnect and connect my
device its going to be scsi#+1. Right now it shows scsi 9 because I
had connected and disconnected this guy about 9 times. Is this a
problem? If not, lets see where its mapped.

# sg_map -x

---
# Note: the devfs pseudo file system is present
/dev/sg0  0 0 0 0  5  /dev/sr0 (<= my cdrw)
/dev/sg1  9 0 0 0  0              (<= my floppy)
---

It does not give me a device that I could use to mount it. Things I tried:

# mount /dev/sg1 /mnt/floppy
mount: /dev/sg1 is not a block device

# mount /dev/scsi/host9/bus0/target0/lun0/generic /mnt/floppy/
mount: /dev/scsi/host9/bus0/target0/lun0/generic is not a block device

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

  Manny Silva
