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!
