Hi, one problem solved, immediately the next one. :^) My clients (Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1, LTSP5) don't recognize external USB-CD-ROMs. Nothing gets mounted on the server.
Here some information from the client: ##### from dmesg: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. usb-storage: device found at 3 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb-storage: device scan complete scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROM TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SN-S082D SS02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 sr 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 sr 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 5 ##### udevadm info -q all -n sr0 P: /block/sr0 N: scd0 S: disk/by-id/usb-Generic_USB_2.0_Mass_Storage_Device_009D00000000186C S: disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:10.3-usb-0:6:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 S: sr0 S: cdrom S: cdrw S: dvd S: dvdrw S: cdrom1 S: cdrw1 S: dvd1 S: dvdrw1 E: ID_CDROM=1 E: ID_CDROM_CD_R=1 E: ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1 E: ID_CDROM_DVD=1 E: ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1 E: ID_CDROM_DVD_RAM=1 E: ID_CDROM_MRW=1 E: ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1 E: ID_CDROM_RAM=1 E: DEVTYPE=disk E: ID_VENDOR=Generic E: ID_MODEL=USB_2.0_Mass_Storage_Device E: ID_REVISION=0000 E: ID_SERIAL=Generic_USB_2.0_Mass_Storage_Device_009D00000000186C E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=009D00000000186C E: ID_TYPE=cd E: ID_BUS=usb E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:10.3-usb-0:6:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 So it obviously is a block device. The rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-ltspfsd.rules look like this: ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="fd[0-9]", RUN+="add_fstab_entry %k auto" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", RUN+="add_fstab_entry %k" I guess the problem sits in /lib/udev/add_fstab_entry at these lines: # Make sure we have a valid FSTYPE [ -z "${FSTYPE}" ] && FSTYPE="${ID_FS_TYPE}" # Use udevinfo ID_FS_TYPE [ -z "${FSTYPE}" ] && exit 1 # That's empty too, die. No parameter for FSTYPE is passed and I didn't find any ID_FS_TYPE-info in udev. /var/run/ltspfs_fstab stays empty, nothing gets mounted. When I manually run: /lib/udev/add_fstab_entry cdrom auto Wrote 66696559963a80c04743ba61be7b3c17 size 32, waiting and ltspfs_fstab contains: /dev/cdrom /var/run/drives/cdrom auto defaults 0 0 Why are fd-devices invoked with the parameter 'auto' for the FSTYPE and CD-ROMs not? Can I just add it or does this brake other things?
