Hello everyone
I have the following devices attached to the SCSI-Bus:
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: FUJITSU Model: M2513A Rev: 1500
Type: Optical Device ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: Quantum Model: XP34300 Rev: L912
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
Vendor: NEC Model: CD-ROM DRIVE:500 Rev: 1.0
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Device 00 is a MO-Drive (Magneto optical, removable media)
and has a capacity of 606 MB.
Device 01 is a normal harddisk with 4 GB capacity.
When installing a current cooker of 18.08.2002
there is a problem at the partitioning stage.
If there is no medium in the MO-Drive, no SCSI-Device shows up.
If there is a medium in the Drive, one SCSI-Device is displayed.
But this Device claims to be a Quantum XP34300 (the harddisk)
while having 606 MB capacity (that's the capacity of the MO-Drive).
I tried the same with diskdrake on a allready installed Mandrake 8.2
with the same result.
In both cases diskdrake gets confused by this MO-Drive and mixes the
devices.
I looked into the sources and found two files:
Mandrake 8.2 - diskdrake: /usr/lib/libDrakX/detect_devices.pm
In line 163 I replaced
if ($type =~ /Direct-Access/) {
with
if ($type =~ /(Direct-Access|Optical Device)/) {
Cooker-install: Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/detect_devices.pm
Here I replaced in line 187
} grep { $_->{raw_type} =~ /Direct-Access/ } @l;
with
} grep { $_->{raw_type} =~ /Direct-Access/ || $_->{raw_type} =~ /Optical
Device/ } @l;
This seems to do the trick. Now the devices show up correctly.
If there is no medium in the MO-Drive diskdrake detects just the
harddisk as sdb.
If a medium is present in the MO-Drive both sda and sdb show up with the
right names and capacity.
Maybe the maintainer of diskdrake can have a look at it and include the
changes ?
Would be fine, thanks.
