AND did this to the same problem a usb stick has no entry in /dev pluggging in the stick genertates line such as SD S:0:0:0 [sdc] No cache mode page lsusb shows the device to be recognised but ls /dev/ shows no /dev/sdc ( only fixed disks are shown ) I have seen this behaviour consistently with eudev 204/206 or their systemd analogs. ########## I am stuck rignt now as usb usage is mandatory for a modern computer I tried udev-182 way back but it did not compile thats why I tried eudev which was 'modern' The problem iappears to be with 'modern' udev ( now systemd ) and the redhat/fedora baggage it carries systemd has even renamed stuff in /proc/net/nev --( no longer are eth0, eth1 etc available now it some funky convoluted name almost impossible to decipher, ) --no longer can you parse /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog there is a journal with a quite impossible name to decipher I am beginning to wonder if devfs (especially the rewritten version in the mid noughties ) should not be dusted off and brought up to date (Linus are you listening ! ) Other operating sysems have been using inkernel devfs just fine . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devfs#devfs http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/245713?do=post_view_threaded and here is another interesting development http://blog.stuart.shelton.me/archives/891 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
