Package: hotplug Version: 0.0.20040329-22 Severity: wishlist
I have a digital camera (nikon coolpix) that stores pictures on CF cards. The camera has an usb interface, with the usb-storage driver I can mount the camera's CF card as my /dev/sda1 drive. This works fine with hotplug. There is one small issue when using multiple CF cards with different sizes though: if I power off the camera, change the CF card and power it back on, the kernel does not figure out that the /dev/sda drive size has changed, and this leads to errors when trying to mount /dev/sda1 again. As a workaround, I came up with the following script in /etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage: #! /bin/sh # Local script - re-detect USB storage card capacity. echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 0 0" >/proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0" >/proc/scsi/scsi This works fine for my setup - however, I'll agree that the 0 0 0 0 parameters are really specific and should ideally be auto-detected in some way (this is probably doable by parsing some files in /proc). Is there an architectural reason why such functionality should not be integrated in the default hotplug scripts ?
