Hi All, I was wondering if you could help me out with the following.
I have a dual Xeon running Debian, kernel-image 2.4.27-smp. I have a usb thumb that I use, plus a card reader for the flash card of my digital camera. I created the dir : /mnt/usbthumb and the fstab entry: /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbthumb auto rw,users,noauto 0 0 Now, when I mount a USB device the first time around I have no troubles, but then if I try to mount it a second time (after unmount -l /mnt/usbthumb) NB umount /mnt/usbthumb (minus the -l) gives the same probs... I get: mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device and dmesg shows (after plug and mount): hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.7-2, assigned address 10 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 10 sda: Unit Not Ready, sense: Info fld=0xa00 (nonstd), Current 00:00: sense key Not Ready sda : READ CAPACITY failed. sda : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 Info fld=0xa00 (nonstd), Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready sda : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table sda: Unit Not Ready, sense: Info fld=0xa00 (nonstd), Current 00:00: sense key Not Ready sda : READ CAPACITY failed. sda : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 Info fld=0xa00 (nonstd), Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready sda : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table Can anyone tell me how to mount/umount the darned thing more than once during the same session?
