Please indulge me and tell me what I am doing wrong here: Kernel v 2.4.21 (I can't upgrade it, I have 6500 devices in the field and that would be prohibitive)
In rc.sysinit, I do mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 When I plug in a usb memory stick, I can mount it by doing Mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick I can unmount it and remove it, plug it back in again, remount . . Everything works fine. If I plug in a different brand/size of memory stick, however, I can't mount it. Looking at dmesg, it says it has given the new device the name sdb - That seems OK, I'll create another node called dev/sdb1 with mknod /dev/sdb1 /b 8 1 Doesn't work though. - Even though I dmesg says sdb. The command Mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/memstick fails. What am I doing wrong? How can hot plug tell the name of the most recently iserted memory stick (there is only one USB connector so there can't be two installed at the same time) ? Is it possible to tell the driver to always use the same device name (set max devices to 1 or something) ? Thanks again for any help, Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
