I'm trying to use USB harddrives on my SunRay Infrastructure without
success.
My usb-drive is a Fujistu StorageBird w/ 3.5" 1TB disk and external
power supply. SRSS 4.1 with Patch 139550-02 runs on 2 CentOS 5.3 x86_64
(SunFire x4600) servers in a FOG. Additionally I installed Daniel
Cifuentes' usbdrived so USB Sticks do mount very well. One has to a long
time to use a USB device. So I waited at least nearly 4h to no avail.
After plugin nothing can be found in any logfile in
/var/opt/SUNWut/log/. A short time after plugin /var/log/messages tell me:
kernel: utdisk2: p1
kernel: FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev utdisk2.
kernel: VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev utdisk2.
kernel: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
kernel: VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev utdisk2.
Plugging in the same disk on a CentOS 5.3 i386 Desktop without any
SunRay environment /var/log/messages tells me:
kernel: usb 2-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
kernel: usb 2-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Afterwards it mounts without further errors.
# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 121601 976760001 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
The disk has been partitioned and formated under Linux using fdisk and
"mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n XXXX /dev/sdc1". Shrinking down sdc1 to 256GB does
not help anyway. The file system is empty.
Does anybody know what to do to mount usb harddrives regardless of
speed? Are there any limitations to disk- and/or partition size?
