Just adding the entries to unusual_devs.h (is this file documented somewhere?) gives you reading access, writing larger blocks locks the machine solid. Taking usb/storage/* from CVS and stuffing it on top of 2.4.17 does the trick, though. Any chance this might show up in 2.4.18? One thing remains, but I am not sure how it relates to the storage driver. I am using RH7.2 right now, when shutting the system down, a ro-remount of the root-filesystem is attempted before rebooting/halting the machine. If USB device has been mouted and used before (just mounting/unmounting does not trigger this), this remount takes awfully long, about 30 seconds. Just before reboot I can see a message from the SCSI layer complaining about being unable to reset the SCSI device which was associated with the USB disk. I do not have the slightest why the kernel attempts to do this at all. -- R! _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
