Hi all, I'm running Gentoo 2005.0 with an up-to-date portage tree, and I'm having some trouble getting an external USB harddisk running. My kernel is a 2.6.11-gentoo-r9. I have compiled USB support and SCSI support into the kernel.
When I attach the harddisk via USB, the following output is produced in /var/log/messages: Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6 Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb-storage: device found at 6 Jul 12 23:47:25 genbox usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: MK4004GAH Rev: 0811 Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox usb-storage: device scan complete Jul 12 23:47:30 genbox scsi.agent[8603]: disk at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1:1.0/host2/target2 :0:0/2:0:0:0 Running 'lsusb' gives me the following for device 6: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2735:1005 'sg_scan' produces the following ouput: /dev/sg0: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em] I would think this all looks pretty good, i.e. I would expect to be able to mount the drive by doing something like: mount /dev/sg0 /mnt/usbstorage However, if I try this, mount produces an output saying that the device is not a block device. I'm pretty much out out ideas, and I'd welcome any suggestions. Sincerely, Matthias -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
