I've tried to follow the suggestions made on this list to get access to a USB disk-on-key device locally on a client.
I've done this:
Moved floppyd to /opt/ltsp/i386/bin Created a file called usbdok in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.d/, it contains:
#!/bin/bash chmod 777 /tmp modprobe usb-uhci modprobe usb-storage mknod /dev/sda b 8 0 mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 chmod 666 /dev/sda chmod 666 /dev/sda1 floppyd -d /dev/sda1
In lts.conf:
[ltsp011] RCFILE_01 = usbdok RUNLEVEL = 3
The client starts up, shows the modules inserted:
sd_mod usb-storage scsi_mod usb-uhci usbcore
The device files are created OK, owned by root.root and have the permissions indicated in the usbdok file.
I can mount the device locally in run level 3 using
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /tmp/mnt
and the access it is expected. -t msdos also works. I then proceed to umount the device.
All seems well so far.
But once I start the GUI on the client, and run mdir a:, the happiness vanishes. The first time I di mdir a:, the disk-on-key flashes a bit (so there is something going on), but reports to the shell:
floppyd_io: Input/output error
Subsequent attempts to access the device results in the message:
Permission denied, authentication failed! Auth failed: Device locked! Drive 'A:' not supported Cannot initialize 'A:'
I don't know how to proceed from here, any suggestions welcome.
-- Mvh Ragnar Wisl�ff ------------------ life is a reach. then you gybe.
you can either create an mtools.conf in /etc on the server (so all users can access drive a: with mtools) or an .mtoolsrc in the home directory of a specific user. i prefer the 2nd one.
content of the file looks like:
drive a: file="$DISPLAY" remote
