Patrick,

Thanks for the info, but we've totally redesigned the local device subsystem for LTSP-4.2, which will be released at LinuxWorld on April 4th.

The new design uses udev, ltspfs, fuse, a much newer kernel, and it really rocks for local device access.

For people interested in playing with the beta, it's all in cvs right now, and you can get more info on the #ltsp IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.


Thanks,
Jim McQuillan

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the correct way to solve the problem, but I had some trouble getting USB drives to work and tracked it down to the usb-storage module not getting loaded. I edited my /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.usb file to add usb-storage to the list of modules loaded on startup. Then when I plug in my USB drive it is mounted fine.

Could the LTSP maintainers please either update the rc.usb file, or if there is a better way to fix the problem, then whatever is sensible.

I'm including my rc.usb for reference.

Cheers,
Patrick
