Hi all,

After a very long week, I think I am close to actually access my 250 Usb Zip drive.
I have now 2.3.99-pre6.

THE PROBLEM: I am not able to mount my Zip drive:

[root scsi]# mount /mnt/usbzip/
mount: /dev/sdb4 has wrong major or minor number


THE DESCRIPTION:
I have the following /etc/fstab entry for the Zip

/dev/sdb4  /mnt/usbzip  auto noauto,user 0 0

I have also tried with sda4.


How do I get the major and minor numbers for a given device?


THE GOOD SIGNS
[root scsi]# cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/2
Host scsi2: usb-storage
    Vendor: Iomega
   Product: USB Zip 250
  Protocol: Bulk only
 Transport: Transparent SCSI
      GUID: 059b0030059b003003005fc1

[root scsi]# cat /proc/filesystems
nodev shm
nodev usbdevfs
 ext2
 msdos
 vfat
nodev proc
 iso9660
 hfs
nodev autofs
nodev nfs
nodev devpts

BTW, what is shm ?


[root scsi] mount
/dev/hda8 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0622)
/dev/hda10 on /mnt/shared type hfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)


THE BAD SIGNS
[root scsi]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices: none

This after I have issued a:
[root scsi]# echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi


But it could be that the creation of /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/2 was caused
by that last command. I did not pay attention to that.


What should I do know ?

Regards,
