More information.
this is the out put of
#cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: EagleTec Model: External Hard Di Rev: 0002
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: LG Model: CD-RW CED-8080B Rev: 1.05
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
So, the harddisk should be /dev/sda
i tried both mount /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 ... all failed with
xxxxxx is not a valid block device
i do have all the modules loaded as the lsmod shows
usb-storage
usbcore
usb-uhci
sd-mod
sg
...
i also tried
#sfdisk -l /dev/sda
dev/sda: No such device or address
sfdisk: cannot open /dev/sda for reading
I am getting rather frustrated. :-(

Hi guys, here's a USB newbie question.
I am using RH 8.0, the system recognizes my USB portable harddisk alrite. I
can see
# mount
......
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
now, i am not sure how to access the disk.
I did a google and it seems it is just a simple mount.
so i did (as root)
#mkdir /mnt/uhda
#mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/uhda
mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device
i checked my /proc/bus/usb
#ls
001 devices drivers
#cat devices

#cat drivers

thanx
