Hi all, A general question regarding kernel drivers (modules) and how they attach a device into the /dev filesystem.
I have a USB CD-ROM which when plugged in is recognised and enumerated by the USB sub system as expected. My question is: Is there any way of telling which /dev file is assigned to the new device? I had a poke around /proc for some kind of clue but couldn't see anything. I know I can find it by attempting a mount on all the usual entries (/dev/scd0, scd1 ...) but there must be a better way. I had a similar problem at Granville TAFE where, after presenting a lesson on USB, a student pulled out a USB memory stick and the same thing happened: It was recognised by usbcore OK, but I couldn't mount it. How would I go about finding where sg.o puts it in /dev? (I assume that usb-storage and sg are the only drivers needed) Regards, Andy -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
