Alan,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Who'd have thought such a simple patch could make someone so happy?

That did the trick. I just tried it and it works beautifully whether
the device remains plugged in during suspend or if it's unplugged and
plugged back in during suspend and before resume.

Now if this could only become the default behavior ;-)

Thanks again,

  In this case the USB drive file system is unmounted on resume, even if
  the drive remained plugged in during suspend.

 But the logs you just posted show that the filesystem _does_ remain
 mounted after resume, provided you don't unplug the drive.  At least
 that's what it looked like -- it was hard to tell for sure because each

 Okay, guess I misunderstood what you wrote before.

 The patch below for 2.6.23 should do what you want (and more besides).
 It forces the USB Persist feature to apply to all persist-enabled
 devices, whether they were unplugged or not.

 There's no chance of this getting accepted into the official kernel in

[linux-usb-devel] [FEATURE REQUEST] Transparent hot plugging of root file system on portable storage devices.

2007-11-26 Thread Raymano Garibaldi
Hi,

I would like to request a feature in the Linux kernel that would allow
a user to unplug a live read-only root file system which exists on a
detachable storage device such as a USB key drive. The desired
behavior is that once the same device is reattached to the computer
the user can continue work transparently without having to reboot.

Having such a feature is becoming more important with advances in
detachable solid state drive technology.

Having the root FS on a wireless storage device such as D.A.V.E.
(http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/consumer_electronics/DAVE)
would require such a feature in the kernel in case the wireless
connection between the storage device and the computer is temporarily
lost. The user should have the ability to continue work transparently
once the wireless connection is reestablished.

Thank you,
Raymano G.

 Wait a minute.  You're saying that  USB Persist worked under 2.6.21

 In short, you aren't reporting a bug -- you're asking for a new feature
 to be added.

 From the point of view of the kernel, being suspended is in some
 respects like remaining awake.  Hotplug events are detected in either
 case.  Would you also want the ability to unplug and replug your root
 fs while the computer was running?  Would it make sense to add such an
 ability?


Yes. I believe because of the advances in solid state drive
technology, especially detachable ones like USB flash drives, the
ability to unplug and replug a live root fs is becoming an important

 There was a time during the 2.4 kernel series when usb-storage would
 try to keep track of devices after they had been unplugged and
 recognize them when they were re-attached.  Linus himself said it was
 a bad idea and consequently it was removed.  Now you're saying you want
 it back.  I think you'll have to convince Linus before anyone else will

The device which has the root fs is a READ-ONLY device. There is no
way for it to change between getting detached and reattached to the
computer which is suspended. In such a case there is no possibility of
hibernation because there is nothing to write back to.

I understand that this is currently considered a feature but I am
arguing here that there should also be another feature that allows
this  to work under suspend to ram the same as it does with suspend to
disk (hibernation).

Here's a scenario:

1) You are at the airport working on a laptop without a hard drive,
which you have booted up using a live USB distro on a read-only USB
key drive.

2) You want to board your plane so you suspend your laptop. You can't
keep the USB stick in your laptop because you can not fit the laptop
back in the bag with the USB stick still attached. So you detach the
USB stick while the laptop is still suspended.

3) You get on the plane and after some time when you are allowed to
work again you stick back in the USB stick, resume the laptop and
continue work where you left off.

This scenario is not currently possible with the any kernel after
2.6.22. It is a very important missing feature.

And yes. This feature does work under the 2.6.21 kernel, exactly
because the kernel did not have  the USB suspend and persist feature
available. Under the 2.6.21 kernel, during suspend, the kernel is
totally unaware of what is happening to the USB device so nothing

 USB Persist was never meant to allow you to detach and reattach a
 device while the computer is suspended; it was meant to deal with
 hibernation.  So what you observed is the correct behavior, not a bug.
 Detaching and reattaching a device while the computer is suspended
 should result in exactly the same behavior as detaching and reattaching
 the device while the computer is awake.

 If you try doing the same thing but with the computer in hibernation
 instead of suspended, you may find it more in line with what you
 expect.

In kernel 2.6.23.8 USB_PERSIST feature does not work if the same USB
device is detached and reattached while computer is suspended. The
mount points for the USB storage device mounted before suspend are
lost and the device has to be remounted after resume.

Please advise,

 Does it work in 2.6.23.7? What messages you see in the kernel logs
 (in both kernels, good and bad)?

[REQUEST] New boot flag/kernel option

2007-11-17 Thread Raymano Garibaldi
I would like to request a new boot flag/kernel option that would make
the following scenario possible:

1) Working on laptop with a live USB distro on a read-only USB stick.
2) Suspend laptop.
3) Detach USB stick.

4) Do other things, get on a plane, go on a bus, deal with police
officer giving you a ticket for operating a laptop while driving...

5) Attach the same read-only USB stick.
6) Resume laptop.
7) Continue work as if nothing happened.

The last time we were able to do something like this was in 2.6.21.

If not, could you please advise a workaround to get this functionality
with the latest kernels.

Thank you very much,
Raymano

Re: [2.6.23-1] [USB Mass Storage] [USB_PERSIST] Losing mounted USB storage after resume

2007-11-15 Thread Raymano Garibaldi
The scenario that you've described is exactly what I have in mind as
well. The lack of this feature, which worked fine in 2.6.21, is
holding us back on updating the kernel in our LiveUSB distribution. I
think that this is a feature that would be more and more needed as
portable storage devices start growing in capacity and speed and start
getting smaller in physical size.

Please advise us on how to accomplish this. Kernel boot option; patch;
anything! We'll take anything.

Thanks

[2.6.23-1] [USB Mass Storage] [USB_PERSIST] Losing mounted USB storage after resume

2007-11-15 Thread Raymano Garibaldi
Hi,

Is there a way/patch that would revert the USB mass storage
suspend/resume behavior to the way things worked on and prior to
kernel 2.6.21?

The problem is mounting a usb drive, suspending while mounted,
detaching the usb drive during suspend, reattaching usb drive during
suspend before resume, and resuming.

In this case the mount is lost and the drive has to be remounted after
resume. If the device remains attached while the computer is
suspended, USB_PERSIST works as expected and the device remains
mounted when the computer resumes. Kernel 2.6.21-x would leave the
mount point intact whether the device was left attached or was
detached and reattached while the computer was suspend.

We need this functionality particularly in read-only live USB distros.
In this case the USB device is read-only and can not change while the
computer is suspended even if it gets detached and is reattached
before resume.

Thank you,
Raymano G.

[2.6.23-1] [USB Mass Storage] [USB_PERSIST] Losing mounted USB storage after resume

2007-11-15 Thread Raymano Garibaldi
Hi,

The problem is mounting a usb drive, suspending while mounted,
detaching the usb drive during suspend, reattaching usb drive during
suspend before resume, and resuming.

In this case the mount is lost and the drive has to be remounted after
resume. If the device remains attached while the computer is

mounted when the computer resumes. Kernel 2.6.21-x would leave the
mount point intact whether the device was left attached or was
detached and reattached while the computer was suspend.

We need this functionality particularly in read-only live USB distros.
In this case the USB device is read-only and can not change while the
computer is suspended even if it gets detached and is reattached
before resume.

 Some kind of boot flag would cure this one nicely.

 I have the same issue here:  boot/run notebook from USB stick,
 eventually suspend the notebook and unplug the stick so it can
 be packed into the case for travel.

 Unpack at the other end, replug the stick, and resume from suspend.
 This should be doable, perhaps with a boot parameter override or something.
