I've got a 1TB Western Digital USB drive, and when I connect it to my linux machine, it shows it as both an HID device and a mass storage device, but udev only generates the sg device node of the HID, and I consequently can't seem to access the mass storage part, which is the only part I actually care about.
First, I'm not even sure if this is a kernel/USB driver issue, or a udev issue, or a user issue, but if it's a udev issue, I ought to be able to just run mknod with the right magic numbers and have it work, but either i'm massively misunderstanding the enumeration of such things, or even that doesn't work. In any case, I've gone so far as reading everything from google results, to deciphering a good half of /proc/bus/usb/devices, to even skimming kernel code, and either composite device support is still being hammered out, or i need gadget support in there, or I'm completely overlooking something. So the questions: Am I overlooking something? Do you need more information (lsusb -v perhaps) to sort this out, or do I actually need to get to patching the kernel, or installing a development/release candidate kernel, or should I just take this thing back to best buy? I kinda need the space, as you can probably guess, as I paid for it, and would seriously appreciate a quick fix, if one exists. Thanks, guys. -- pegasus ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
